The cottage was lovely and warm and inviting with ample area to park immediately outside the front door. The property was well presented, clean and tidy. The walk in double shower in the bathroom was fabulous and very easy to use. The bedroom was spacious with lots of cupboard and draw space. The kitchen had just about everything we needed and therRead moree was lots of space for food stuffs, not that we needed much. There was a washing machine if needed and a good separate freezer. Hide

Excellent accommodation and location, quiet, peaceful yet not too rural. Owners are lovely, very helpful. Property had everything you could possibly need. Safe outdoor seating a bonus for us and our spaniel. Grateful for the welcome pack of milk , flowers and chocolate biscuits.

We very much enjoyed our stay here although we didn't spend much time in the accommodation. It was very handy to start our days out from. As a result we used very little of the supplied equipment, of which was plenty and in very good condition.

We found this property to be the perfect size for the two of us ( and dog). It was in a lovely position, rural yet not remote, being just outside of the village but within easy walking distance. The kitchen had everything you could want and the living room was comfortable with easy access to the garden space. My wife loved it so much she wanted to Read moremove in permanently and Wendy ( the owner ) told us that some people had stayed and asked to buy it afterwards. This is somewhere we would easily recommend and look forward to returning in the not too distant future. Hide
