Holly Cottage was delightful! Full of charm, and located so conveniently opposite a great pub. The cottage was spotlessly clean, the rooms thoughtfully laid out and the welcome package was fabulous. This is a property that is well cared for and had everything we needed for our short break. Have already recommended to others.
