Just back from a 3 night stay for my step dads 50th and the cottage is absolutely amazing. The owners have thought of everything you could possibly need. Every room is just perfect, the beds are so comfy. Even though it was cold, we still managed to make use of the outdoor areas. Thank you

This trip was a long time planning for 8 ladies who have worked together as travel agents for between 15 & 30 years. Our celebration was a 60th birthday. We have had the most wonderful time at John's cottage. The cottage was spotlessly clean & had everything you would need for a holiday here. So beautiful & tastefully designed in every room. TRead morehe cottage catered for every need with pots, pans, plates, cutlery. Top of the range cookers, air fryers even an ice machine & quooker tap in the kitchen. Everything was so easy to use but if in doubt there were small Q codes around the house to scan with a you tube video showing how to use them. The hot tub & garden was fabulous & a bonus we had such fabulous weather. All 4 bedrooms are very comfortable with no expense spared on the mattresses, pillows & furnishings. We all had the best nights sleep in a long time. The games room is great with a pool table, piano & lots of games to play. A gorgeous small village a few minutes walk with a little shop & lovely country pub. We didn't want to leave the cottage & will be more than happy to recommend it to all our friends, family & colleagues. Hide
