The Cottage was immaculate, very homely, warm and the log fire was brilliant. Couldn't fault any thing, the milk in the fridge, tea coffee and sugar basket and the vase of flowers were a very nice thoughtful touch!

Had a wonderful stay
Very relaxing and superb cottage
Great location to go for walks
Would highly recommend
Our dog also loved it!
The facilities in the cottage were second to none, nothing was forgotten, perfect for our very large dog. we walked for miles in the unspoilt countryside, views of hills, lambs, pheasants and not a street lamp in site!!! This was the most beautiful, country retreat we have ever found and Jo was really helpful. Have been recommending to all our friends and family....
Our 2nd stay and this time for a whole week. Same excellent facillities with everything provided. Wonderful walks and scenery and millions of gorgeous lambs.The perfect venue for a get-away from it all, relaxing break.
It's just perfect place to escape from the rural stress. It is like a touch of the nature - country life
