Confirmed Guest
What a wonderful find! We had a beautiful week with the weather and the outside area of Willow’s Rest was heavenly. I picked this lodge because of the outside space and secure parking and the place did not disappoint. It was local to do many beautiful villages and places to see. Lots of restaurants and cafes within a short distance, although I wouldn’t have chanced walking down some of the single track lanes. The inside of the lodge was so homely and comfortable. We could not fault anything and would highly recommend. Our hosts Harry and Judy were exceptional and so helpful. Thank you for a fabulous week!

Willow's Rest is clean, comfortable, and peaceful. Fitted carpets throughout add to the comfort. The cottage had all we needed; just be aware that the fridge is fairly small. Parking is secure within the beautiful grounds. We had an unseasonably cold and wet week, but there was still plenty to do within an hour's drive. Harry & Judy live on site, and they were very quick to respond when we needed some help. They are friendly, kind and helpful.
