  • Gary

    The cottage was finished to a high spec and will definitely be visiting again.

  • Sarah

    Everything we needed, comfy, clean and relaxing. Great spot, quiet but everything on your door step including dog friendly pubs and wonderful walks. Would love to stay again.

  • Kath

    The information file provided was extremely helpful. We liked using the snug, especially as the weather wasn’t great, but a few pictures / ornaments would have made it feel a bit more homely - only a small personal preference issue. Useful to having the off-road parking as the road outside the cottage was busy when we arrived. Lots to see within a 5 mile radius of the cottage, with walks directly from the door. The cottage is in a lovely village with a small store, and dog friendly pubs and cafe, all adding to an enjoyable stay. Would book again.
