This is a wonderful place, located in the countryside but only a few miles away from a shop. We thoroughly enjoyed it. We had a mix of people join in our party including children, a wheelchair user and older people. All of us had our own space the pool table was a hit with the children. The garden is a good size for dogs and children to run around.Read more We will hopefully return in the future. Hide

Had a fabulous week. I had broken my ankle a week before the holiday and can vouch that I was able to get around the house and that the disabled bathroom was great. The walled garden is fantastic and the dogs had a good time too. Lots of walks nearby. I would like to visit in summer to take more advantage of the decking. Brilliant

Nice touches were milk in the fridge, tea coffee and some condiments too. Beds weren't the comfiest but expected in price of stay being such good value.

A fantastic spacious place great for families. The setting is perfect, and it was great to have so much space. The pool table was a real plus for the kids, and the garden was great for the kids to play (and the grown ups to relax). The kitchen was well equipped with everything you need.

5 of us had 3 nights here, using it as a base for a 5 day motorcycling tour of N.Yorks & Cumbria. Superb location, highly recommend food at the nearby hotel, good layout, plenty of space and beds.

A very spacious and well equipped cottage with ample room for 7 adults, 5 children, a baby and a dog. The large, secure garden with patio was ideal, just a shame about the weather. Plenty of off road parking. Lovely views of Walworth Castle next door. Everyone enjoyed their stay, thank you.
