  • Georgia

    The host was very accommodating, she left us a basket of food which was great as we had a long drive and were hungry on arrival. We will definitely be returning!

  • Dawn

    Beautiful accommodation with fantastic equipment provided. Fab weekend retreat . Our sat nav did take us on a very narrow route which was also the recommended route for Lime cottage….. We used a different route, using the B5278 which we were happier with (further but wider) then turning at Clock Tower which was so much better.

  • Anna

    The cottage had everything and more, luxury feel with all the creature comforts. Would highly recommend.
