Can't speak highly enough of Weaver's Cottage and the owner. We had a brilliant stay. The kitchen was very well equipped, location was excellent and the cottage very comfortable. We're already planning our return trip.

We originally booked for 1 week but ended staying for 2 weeks due to an issue with the other cottage we were booked into. We had a great holiday and enjoyed our stay overall.The positives with this cottage are the location, excellent kitchen which is very well equipped with a lovely dining room next to it, the boot room and utility area is very good and makes life easy if you are into outdoor activities, it was immaculate, really nice welcome pack for our first week, the sitting rooms are cute and comfortable and the shower is fantastic, views are amazing and you are provided with bath robes which is very helpful.The negatives are the very low ceiling heights in both bedrooms. Anyone approaching 6ft or more will struggle and access to the bath is more difficult if you are taller due to the sloping ceilings. Both mattress are uncomfortable even with the toppers on and need replaced.
