This is a lovely cottage on an amazing site. The cottage is comfortable and has all the amenities you need for a week away, although it could definitely do with a spruce up in places.

This was a lovely property which suited our family group well. The property was warm, beds were comfortable and it was well equipped. The bonus of having access to the pool, tennis court and games room was great especially for the kids. The Bosk restaurant is really nice but isnt open every night, Id advise booking if you want to go. We had a couplRead moree of small issues but Richard replied to me straight away with suggestions eg when the tv wouldnt work. Only thing to note is that there is an upstairs property with squeaky floorboards - didnt bother us at all and wasnt a problem but if there were noisy people up there it might be an issue. Overall a lovely comfortable property, great value for money in a beautiful area so would stay again Hide

We had an amazing break, very chilled , just what we needed, the cottage was well equipped , cosy and very comfortable, with the added benefit of a swimming pool and a games room, which bought out the competitiveness of our teenager daughter and my husband snooker wars, Zak the Labrador loved the walks .
