We had a pretty good stay in Bridge End. The only little concerne was the commmmmmunication, it not happend anything. I got my resevation confirmed, from the booking host. There was no key collection details or how to find that place. The marking was somewhere in the fields. We arrived because i found the House in streetview. And we felt as like tresspassing. The front door was locked and we went around the cottage, found the rear door unlocked. It would be nice, If there was an information about the situation - before... The cottage itself is an absolut lovely place to be! For sure!

We had a great time at bridge end, I highly recommend it if you want to get away from it all. Location is so peaceful and we were spoilt with the weather so had late evenings out in the garden. The property was clean, comfortable and all we needed. Great communication from James and booking with cottages.com was smooth and easy.
