The cottage is the perfect rural holiday stay, with everything you need, both very relaxing and comfortable. Di & Chris are great hosts, able to help with queries if required and the personalised welcome pack was a great touch (and a first for us). Would happily recommend and return. Thank you again.

The owners were very welcoming and the cottage is lovely. The welcome pack was very thoughtful and much appreciated. The owners have gone to a lot of trouble to provide everything you could require. The only downside was the lane to the cottage which had some deep ruts, but if you went over the bridge, there was a much better route which was slightly longer but easier on the car.
