Reviews
"Just spent another wonderful week at this cottage, our forth year in a row. The cottage is very comfortable and cosy with a log burner. Lovely garden for our two dogs and the pub next door run by Susi and barmaid Fran was very homely and welcoming and dog friendly. Looking forward to our next visit! "
"Lovely place for a romantic getaway. Light and welcoming with everything you need to relax. We will be going back soon."
"The place is lovey and super clean. In a pretty little village. It did however lack the basics, just 3 tea bags provided (one per day perhaps) no sugar, no hand soap in the bathroom, had to find the bin liners to put in the bin myself. Logs provided but no fire lighters. There was a small welcome note and a (out of date) inventory of kitchen utensils. Maybe I have been lucky in the past when staying in cottages, getting things like sugar provided. Some personal info on the local area and walks would have been useful. "
"lovely cottage, Ideal for a couple, very well maintained. Great pub next door which is also dog friendly. Great location but easy to get to nearby main routes. Would recommend it to anyone."
"This is the perfect little cottage for a bolt hole for one or two and a dog. Peaceful village, handy pub next door (the sort you can take the dog in), easy to get to, lovely woodburner and nice decor. The ducks next door were lovely to wake up to! My only negative was the mattress was a little uncomfy - everything else was perfect"
