Lovely cottage and the cream tea on arrival was a nice touch. Wood fired hot tub was perfect and unlimited fire wood that we couldnt find anywhere else! Brilliant added extras for our pooch which was lovely to see (treats, bowls and blankets) Owners were very welcoming and easy to find if any help is needed. Perfect week away thank you!

Such a cosy and comfortable stay, we had a great time. The cottage had everything we needed and was very clean. Making the fire for the hot tub took a little getting used to but it was the perfect addition once wed got it right. Very friendly owners too!

A superb little cottage, beautifully decorated. Big comfy bed with fully equipped kitchen. This place is so peaceful. Our dog love sniffing around the fully enclosed garden and we have a total peace of mind while she wanders around the garden, knowing that shes always safe within the confine of the wooden perimeter fencing. The hot tub was an amaziRead moreng feature to use in the autumn weather. Our host is amazing, and had generously prepped for everything we needed upon arrival; 10 out of 10!! Hide

What a lovely cottage. Perfect stay for us. Really well equipped and comfortable, with lots of little nice touches such as cream tea on arrival, bath bomb. The highlight is of course the wood fired hot tub.

We could not have asked for any more with regards to comfort and cleanliness. The best mattress ever, we slept better than in our own bed. Lovely garden and outdoor seating.

Amazing cottage, very warm and welcoming! Cream tea on arrival was such a lovely touch! I enjoyed a lovely birthday weekend here. The only thing I would ask for or change next time if we came would be to have a hoover or dust pan or brush as the cottage got a bit mucky with us going in and out.
