    Words cannot describe the vast stunning location it's set in. It's like having your own personal estate! The property is beautifully kept, beds lovely and comfortable. Facilities outside to hose your dogs down, which we definitely needed for the heatwave week we spent at this idyllic spot. We saw deer right across from the cottage which was a stunning sight. Probably the best holiday cottage I've ever stayed in and I've stayed in a few over the years. Just remember to bring mosquito repellent because in the summer they will eat you alive!

    The setting is amazing with absolutely no traffic noise, just the sound of bird song. If you want a relaxing and peaceful holiday, this is the place for you. The accommodation is spacious, well presented and with furnishings and equipment of a high standard. I would highly recommend it.

    Our dog loved it. So relaxing inside and out. Such a shame it seems to be taken off the list for next year.
