We had a lovely stay at Daffodil Cottage. The cottage is definitely one of the best weve stayed in. Cosy, warm, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The patio area was perfect for the dogs as it is fully enclosed. Thank you David and Diana the cottage is truly a home from home

We had a fantastic stay at Daffodil Cottage. The bathroom was great and there was loads to do within an hours drive. Cottage was clean and yard great for our dog. I'm sure if we'd been there in the summer we would have used the BBQ.

Daffodil cottage has given us a very comfortable and cosy week in a lovely position which formed a really good centre for all the places we wanted to visit. We appreciated the wine, chocolates and flowers on arrival and being able to relax with a cup of tea and biscuits outside in the back patio in the late afternoon sun. Local information was provRead moreided and we sampled 3 of the restaurants mentioned, and can particularly recommend the Duke of York in Fir Tree. Thank you Diana and David! Hide
