We had a great stay over the New Year. The house had everything we needed to enjoy a family break. We loved that we could walk from the house into the forest.

We had a wonderful family weekend at Silva Cottage. The house is well equipped and comfortable with plenty of space for all of us, including a small child and 3 dogs. It was a delight to be able to walk out in to the forest, while being conveniently close to shops and take away restaurants.

Silva Cottage was perfect for our family visit of 6 adults and 4 children under the age of 10. We appreciated the space for parking our cars and the trampoline and jungle gym in the garden. The barbecue was well used and there was space to sit in the garden. The walk down to the river is excellent. We enjoyed the fact that although everything was clean and tidy, it was not so immaculate that we had to worry about living in it and enjoying it with the kids.
