Lilac Cottage is idyllic. Beautiful quaint cottage in a small village which was perfect. The cottage had a lot of character and history. The surrounding countryside was great for dog walks. Local farm shops had everything you needed, pricey but worth it. My husband and I will definitely be staying again.

The property is situated in a lovely quiet village with lovely views out across the fields. The cottage itself - particularly the bathroom and the bedrooms - is very well turned out.

A very comfortable cosy cottage with everything we needed. A good location but a shame that local walks were inaccessible because they were overgrown. However plenty of really good variable in character walks within a few miles drive. A quiet village where we were made to feel welcome. We and the two dogs felt like it was a home from home.

The cottage setting is lovely as is the village, easy to get to places if you drive. There was more than enough equipment for 3 of us except for only 1 towel each being left out. Wine, milk and biscuits much appreciated after a long drive but good job we brought our own coffee. The cottage was warm, beds comfy and more than enough space for us all.

A beautiful cosy cottage that we will not forget in a hurry. The utilisation of space means everything you need is available and the bath has the wow factor! Great location and lots to do in the local area for couples including some lovely restaurants. Finally, the front garden is a treat and the red hot poker flowers are stunning!
