We had a great time at Nuthatch Cottage - its a lovely place to stay. Its clean, light and airy, the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, and its well equipped (although a new pair of kitchen scissors and a roll of kitchen foil wouldnt go amiss!). The outside area and garden are lovely, all very private, and the games room is a real bonus - we thRead moreoroughly enjoyed our evening playing all the games in there. Hide

Wonderful relaxing stay at Nuthatch cottage. The owners were lovely and helpful. The facilities were excellent- games room, hot tub and large fields for dogs to play in as well as fully stocked kitchen. The beds, pillows and bedding were all exceptionally comfortable.

The cottage is perfect for a get away from it all break. The water pressure is low in the shower and we had to figure out how the hot water worked as we ran out of water a couple of times but apart from that a really clean, comfortable, peaceful and beautiful setting.
