We arrived to a gorgeous welcome basket which made our day and the hot tub was 10/10. My toddler especially loved the ponies and horses round the corner in the field who she named Pedro Peter and Pesto and I think we will miss going to see them every morning.

The AGA oven was a new experience, but we got used to it. Unfortunately it rained heavily whilst we stayed, and we had a day inside playing board games, which was nice. The hamper was lovely and the milk/juice and ice cubes, were a welcomed touch. My only negatives were the darkness and cold! Liked how the history of the cottage was incorporated within the welcome file. Lots of information given. Thank you!

The cottage was lovely and facilities were amazing, we didnât want for anything. The only small issue we had was the fact the heating is controlled by the owner and they hadnât allowed it to be used. I know itâs summer still but it was a little chilly on a night and the small electric fires donât really do much with the open plan living room that has no door to the hallway. It was actually surprisingly colder that it is in England (and weâre from the north) so having the heating option would have been nice just for half an hour to take the nip out of the air.
