The owners go above and beyond in making you welcome with a great welcome hamper toiletries etc. It was our fifth stay in Clippers and Iâm certain weâll return. We had a lovely stay with decent weather and found some new walks which our dogs loved. The only slight criticism is the replacement of the fridge freezer in the utility room with just a freezer. The fridge in the kitchen is very small so the additional one in the utility room was in previous stays very useful.

Plenty of room and very peaceful. The cottage has everything you need for a perfect stay. Woodhall Spa is close by with some lovely shops and plenty of eateries.

It was in a lovely, peaceful location with a long drive and large garden and also an enclosed area just outside the back door. The Kitchen was very well equipped and we found everything we needed. There was an extensive choice of cooking pans and dishes. When we arrived there was a lovely hamper and flowers on the table as well as a bowl of fruit. Upstairs lovely large towels and complimentary toiletries. We thought Chippers had a lovely feel to it. I have only given it 4 stars as there was a very small fridge/freezer which we found difficult to access as very close to the floor and meant a lot of bending down which was difficult for us due to various health problems. Quite a lot to see in the area although usually meant a short drive. We couldn't find any good walks straight from the door. Woodhall Spa is very nice and a short distance away. There was a useful OS map but could have done with a few up to date tourist leaflets about local area. Would recommend.
