Martin
My husband and I took my father who is 92 and has recently had a hip replacement so has mobility issues. The ramp up to the cottage was easy for him, the walk in shower was excellent, which meant he felt confident in an unfamiliar place. The cottage was spotless, beautifully warm with lots of hot water and the kitchen well equipped. It was an ideal place from which to explore the area. Thank you so much.

We couldnât have asked for more! The cottage was so comfortable, cosy, bright and airy - spotlessly clean - and so much thought had been given to everything you could possibly need or want. A lovely welcome note and basket awaited us too. We will definitely be back. Thank you so so much for making us - and our doggie - so welcome.

It had sweet touches of character relating to the Red Robin theme. We thoroughly enjoyed our family stay and wholly recommend it. The area around is lovely countryside pretty thatched villages, old market towns, a friendly nearby horse and peacock calling. Many thanks for a lovely stay!
