Sally
It was homely and comfortable. The kitchen was an excellent size for Christmas lunch for our family. A small snug was great as a games room too. Lots of room for cars in the drive. The welcome pack was a lovely surprise and much appreciated. Would highly recommend a stay here at any time of the year. Lovely village and so near to other places to visit. The Owner was very accommodating and on hand next door if we needed anything.

A lovely welcome me hamper was gratefully received. Sunnyside cottage was extremely spacious and had everything we needed. The only downside was both double beds very creaky with every tiny movement. On the whole beautiful cottage in a very pleasant rural location. Thank you x

Lovely safe enclosed garden for our dogs too. Some nice touches like throws for the sofa if the dogs wanted to come up. Thank you.
