A wonderful cottage tucked away in a peaceful and picturesque location in South Gloucestershire. Booked for me & my partner who both have parents in hospital, and this is the first time we were able to relax during a stressful year. Everything we needed was in the cottage, and the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind before bed.

What a beautiful house - the quality of fixtures and fittings excellent - great location next to farm shop (and 10% discount if you tell them you are staying in house). Hot tub a real bonus and great walks around the property. Nice and peaceful despite being next to road. Nice welcome gift of scones, jam and clotted cream another lovely bonus!
