Fantastic cottage, very spacious and clean. Only downside was having to put my dog on a lead to do her business because of no garden space for her. Friendly hosts with good knowledge of the area.

Another wonderful holiday at Two Hoots. Everything you need for your stay. Amazing views from the patio, we watched the owl at dusk and we were lucky enough to see two owls on our last night. One of the best cottages we have ever stayed in. I'm sure we will be back for another stay.

What can we say, this holiday was probably one of the best we have experienced. 'Two Hoots' was a real 'Gem'. The location is outstanding and although you are part of the owners cottage, you are still very private and you don't even know they are there (unless you want a chat across the fence, your choice). So tucked away but lovely pubs and villages and towns only a stones throw away. The view is amazing and we sat out every evening to watch the Barn Owls put on an amazing display. We would definitely highly recommend 'Two Hoots' and would not hesitate to return for another stay in future. The whole experience from booking until completion of our stay was very smooth and the cottage had everything you need and probably more. BOOK IT!
