We enjoyed our stay with our small dog. The place was clean and relaxing in a beautiful setting. We walked around the local area but also drove further afield to see more sights.

I spent the Christmas week here, at Bumblebee Cottage and it was just magical! The hosts had decorated the beautifully finished barn conversion. The place is done out to the highest finish! The bed is so very comfy, and the kitchen was great to cater for myself and my grown daughter and her partner too! We had a lovely Christmas meal together here. My week was spent taking in the gorgeous surroundings and walking prolifically! Abbeyford woods being just a 3 min stroll up the road was perfect for my energetic hound, and the views from the cottage are second to none. I feel very blessed to have found such a wonderful place to be! Thank you Nick and Anne, for a wonderful stay! Highly recommend this gorgeous little gem of a place.
