Reviews

Dart cottage is beautiful, set in lovely grounds. Everything was perfect. The pool and hot tub are amazing extras. Plenty of walking available if required.

Mrs J,

We had the weekend away we wanted, lovely surroundings, cottage, peace and quiet. Perfect.

Mrs G,

Brilliant stay in Dart cottage. Access to the swimming pool and hot tub every day made for a very relaxing break. The cottage is lovely, so clean and with everything we needed.

Mrs A,

Very well equipped, comfortable and spacious cottage with additional outside dining seating/bbq. Lovely touch greeted with some small initial supplies and fresh scones/ homemade jam. Excellent on site facilities with use of pool/ jacuzzi. Owners on hand check in regularly to ensure all is well. Well situated to explore the area around. Just be mindful that drivers might find the very narrow, high hedged minor roadways around cottage area nerveracking initially. Would recommend following owners access recommendations when arriving rather than sat nav.

Mrs A,

Excellent property with helpful and friendly owners on site. We have no hesitation in recommending this property to anybody. A wonderful week.

Mr G,
