We found this cottage a delightful place to stay. The area is superb and the owners are a delight. It's a great base to visit surrounding areas and attractions. In the evening when settled the cottage is completely comfortable and quite. We would revisit in a heartbeat.

Offa's Dyke Cottage is situated on a quiet lane above the nearest village. The location offers the perfect blend of rural tranquility with excellent uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside.The cottage itself is well presented with an excellent exterior featuring a conservatory and a raised decking area. Regardless of the weather there is ample seating both inside or outside of the property to take in the view.While the property sits next door to the owners home, it is detached, offering complete privacy while ensuring help is close at hand if neededThe interior is wonderfully decorated with a combination of traditional country cottage styling but still equipped with modern features.For those wanting complete peace and quiet and to truly switch off to this cottage is ideal. It was a joy to return at the end of the day, close to door and turn on the heating is this cosy cottage.The hosts themselves, when we did meet were very welcoming and friendly. There was plenty of contact before we arrived so that we found our way and that everything was in place to ensure we had a pleasant stay. They left a welcome pack to us on arrival and a folder with instructions on how to use the appliances and also locations of local amenities and attractions.This cottage offers excellent value for money.Wish we could have stayed longer and would hope to visit again.

We really enjoyed the beautiful cottage, it is a treasure, very private, and as well as the spacious conservatory, there is a beautiful private terrace to enjoy the marvellous view from, while having a dinner, drink or just the pleasure of the view.The local walks are spectacular, no car needed!The hosts Maria and Jon, were very helpful and approachable. There were also some lovely treats when we arrived.. The one negative thing is that we only realised the afternoon before we left, that they also sold fresh eggs (the sign is on the other side of the farm!)So now for anyone who likes to visit, don’t miss out on really fresh eggs.Thank you for a lovely break Maria and Jon.
