This cottage has the most wonderful atmosphere. Always clean and tidy, beds comfortable and clean. Its good to have a TV in the lounge and one in the bedroom and of course WFI.. Welcome pack always a bonus. Our little dog loves the large garden ,home from home as well for her. We have booked for 2025 already as we wouldn't want to miss our yearly visit to Bosherton. Always bless the day we found this place.

Blind in bedroom stuck up with Elephant tape. Broken bedside cabinet trim. Property does have a damp issue but didn't put us off. Would be good to have the garden umbrella reinstated as it was very hot and no shade in garden so limited time that could be spent outside which was a shame as garden is best feature of property. Appreciated the welcome pack.
