An absolutely perfect stay. The cottage is cosy and well-stocked, and had a very generous hamper. Both our dogs have different challenges, so it was a dream to find a place that had an enclosed acre of land, and an additional enclosed field to explore. One of our favourite holidays. Thank you.

Our first time to Quercus but wont be the last! We had awful weather for our stay but the secure 5 acre field meant our dogs could run off their energy when the weather permitted.
