Confirmed Guest
We had a wonderful stay in Angel Cottage. The property was immaculate and fully kitted out with everything we needed. One of our party has mobility issues but this wasn't an issue due to the thoughtful layout and access to additional equipment. Certainly will be visiting again in the future.

The cottage is beautifully positioned in a rural setting and can be accessed via a private lane.It was immaculate, with all the amenities that you would require a holiday cottage to have. The owners had left a bottle of wine and shortbread for us to enjoy which was a nice treat.We would definitely recommend the cottage to others. Our son is a full time wheelchair user and the property was accessible throughout.
