    We had everything we needed, particularly as it rained non stop so we stayed indoors, it was so cosy. Loved the additional treats which were left for us (and doggy treats!) We would definitely stay here again, it's a lovely little village and ideal to get away from it all.

    We really enjoyed our week there, very relaxing. Thank you for the flowers, milk, biscuits and wine, a lovely touch.

  • Elaine

    Whilst the car parking was limited was reasonably safe found the property compact and bijou. The kitchen was dysfunctional and almost impossible to prepare from scratch dinner using fresh ingredients emphasizing the wattle cottage is just a short stay operation. Disappointment whereas that the shower room well appointed, the toilet seat was displaced requiring replacement/repair compounded with an inadequate provision of toilet paper for the stay. In conclusion our stay was a pleasant experience and certainly would recommend the cottage and make a subsequent reservation for a possible stay in the future.
