The games room is also a huge bonus. Ideal location meaning whichever direction you travel in from the cottage, you will end up somewhere stunning. The only cottage we have ever returned to - and weâve been to a lot!

We spent a while exploring our home for the week and it just got better and better. The property is very well maintained and was impeccably clean. The welcome gifts provided were very much appreciated especially as we forgot the milk! Even treats for the dogs which were eagerly devoured. We did message the owners a couple of times and had very quick replies even though they were probably busy nothing was too much trouble. Ideally located for shops and plenty to do and see for the kids. We tried to book for next year but nothing available sadly. We are not surprised as it is fantastic all round. The games room was an added bonus for rainy days. Many games of pool were played and board games as well as jigsaws galore. We were really sad to leave such a beautiful house and location and would be back in a heartbeat given the chance. Credit to the owners for going the extra mile with everything and making it a truly fabulous week!
