Terry
The Bungalow was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. It had everything you needed for a relaxing stay. It was in a great location . We enjoyed their friendly dogs. We highly recommend this property. Terry & Carol, Nottingham.

Everything we needed including a super comfy bed and soft fluffy towels. Being a chilly week we enjoyed the log burner. A very generous welcome pack awaited us and our hosts Beverly & David were most friendly and on hand if needed. A few dog treats to hand ensured we had an enthusiastic welcome from the four legged hosts too!

Friendly and helpful owners who provided a welcomepackage of milk, cake, eggs, and other things. A potential problem for tall, elderly and arthritic people (like me)is that you may find the bed, dining chairs and sofa slightly low and hard to get up from - but is unlikely to be any problem for everyone else! Despite this minor problem, this is a lovely cottage to explore this attractive area - with a comfortable bed, lots of hot water and every possible kitchen utensils you might want, we would recommend the property - we hope to visit again.
