  • Martin

    Location is quiet and great for surrounding areas. The mezzanine bedroom was fun for the kids too. We arrived late in the rain to a warm and cozy atmosphere. We would recommend this place and will certainly be booking again.

    It was easy to find and a nice generous parking space made arrival easy. The garden is perfect for dogs; contained and safe. Our children loved exploring the cottage’s quirks and especially the loft bedroom which was great fun for the week - as others have noted it is snug up there and the stairs are not for the feint hearted but this only added to the experience. It is super cosy - we turned the heating off completely (in October) as it was quite warm enough without it. Two loos in a cottage that size is a plus and the downstairs bathroom was lovely. A couple of suggestions for visitors would be arrive with some staples as there isn’t a welcome pack and bring some more towels (or wash them mid stay, as we did).

  • Jeanette

    The property is a delight, beautifully decorated and furnished, equipped with absolutely everything we needed during the week. It was a bit of a downer to have not even a pint of milk to make a drink on arrival? The concreted coffee in the storage jar did not help! The provision of towels was minimal for a week. Just felt these things didn’t create a caring feeling from the owners?
