Gander Cottage Reviews

Nicola

Gander Cottage was lovely. The owners were friendly and the views and stars spectacular. The only thing I would change is that the garden is only accessible by walking out the front door and around the side of the cottage. Therefore, if you have dogs you can't let them straight into the garden. I think the other cottages have direct access.

Kathryn

We have just returned from a wonderful two week holiday with our children at Tangled Bank. The cottage itself is lovely and cosy and really nicely decorated and furnished. The grounds and facilities are brilliant, our boys loved roaming around the fields and spending time with the chickens, horses and alpacas! Steve & Zoe couldn't have made us all Read morefeel more welcome during our stay and we all had a lovely relaxing evening in the hottub, which has incredible views of the sunset! Highly recommend!! Hide

Faye

We had a fantastic week in Goose Cottage. It was well equipped and comfortable. Zoe and Steve were fantastic hosts - welcoming us with fresh eggs and Easter treats. Plenty for our children to do in the play barn. A highlight was the alpaca walk and going to see them on the farm. Shame we don't have space for one at home!

Marc

Highly recommended!!!!!! My family had a fantastic holiday. The quiet rural location was just perfect for a relaxing family break, my children loved being able to play in a safe, secure area as well as being free to spend time with the animals. We stayed in Gander cottage which was very well equipped, extremely clean and comfortable. Steve and Zoe were wonderful, attentive hosts. We had an amazing week and I am sure we will return soon.
