Sally

Olive Cottage, the games room and the pool area did not disappoint. Lesley and Robin are fabulous hosts and have paid attention to the things you need to make your holiday go smoothly. Olive Cottage is one of three holiday lets on the farm. You share the games room and pool space with the other two cottages, saying this we only bumped into our neig hbours in the pool once and perhaps twice in the games room. This one is on our list of places to stay again for sure.

Naomi

Olive Cottage was a lovely stay. It had everything we needed. It is homely and clean and the beds were really comfortable. WiFi was good as was the TV. The kitchen is really well equipped which was good for us as having two young kids we ate in every evening. The secure garden was amazing for the dogs as we could just let them out with no worries. The field for exercising the dogs is huge and really quite beautiful. The swimming pool was super and fantastic for us as it rained a lot! Great stay!

Lorraine

The cottage was lovely to stay in very spacious, with lots of home comforts and even a washing machine to use on request. The swimming pool, hot tub and Sauna were amazing.. As we stayed in a rainy week they got plenty of use from our family our children loved them. Robin & Lesley were very helpful and always full of smiles. The cottage was very cl ean with a great shower, which I wish I had at home . One of the best cottages we have stay at. We will definitely be back.

The cottage it's self was clean everything there which you would want to use for a holiday the bedroom was big plenty of space very warm shower beautiful no faults at all

Stefan

A great welcome from Lesley and Robyn. Very friendly stay and great paddock area for the dogs to run around in. The garden is also enclosed which stopped the worry of dogs getting out. A very nicely laid out cottage. Everything that was required for our stay was at hand. The location is out of the way and in a peaceful countryside setting, but clos e enough to beaches and attractions. It reminded me of my childhood stopping on my uncles farm. Hearing the sheep, owls and pheasants. Thank you.

Craig

Clean and spacious

Lovely and clean apartment in a quiet location. We all enjoyed the games and pool facilities as well.

The cottage was really cosy and had everything we needed. The garden was totally secure for our two dogs and the additional exercise fields for the dogs were fantastic, they both had a fabulous time in there. The pool and games room was a great addition too for the humans! Location was good and lots of places to explore in the area. The night sky w as amazing to see on starry nights- the lack of light pollution made this possible. It was magical.

Rachael

Well equipped, very quiet which was nice. The pool and hot tub is a nice extra especially on rainy days but could benefit being open all day All in all a nice break away

Susan

Pretty cottage in a great location. The owners are very friendly and extremely helpful.local facilities are great and on site pool etc much appreciated!
