We have just returned from a wonderful holiday at this cottage where we spent a glorious week with our daughter, her children and their family dog. Its a great base for exploring and there are some lovely walks right on the doorstep. The cottage is equipped with everything you need for a wonderful stay. Id love to come back again sometime.

This is our second trip to Owl Cottage and it didnt disappoint (you know some places arent as good as you remember them). Has everything you could wish for - we were 4 adults and 2 kids and there was plenty of seating and room for us all - other places have only had seating for 4.

Highlights of the property were the convenience of the cafe, general location and watching the wildlife in the evenings (bats and rabbits every night). Kitchen was quite poorly stocked and overall the property felt a little worn.

The cottage was perfect for our family of four and two dogs. We thought it was brilliant value and a great location.
