This is a fantastic cottage in a wonderful location that we couldn't recommend enough. This was a 60th birthday holiday (2 years late!) with 3 households coming together and the house accommodated everyone's needs really well and a great garden for kids and adults It is warm and welcoming and we felt at home in no time (there were actual tears that we had to leave!). We had a dog and a nearly four year old and this property suited that perfectly- with areas that could be dog or child only.

The cottage is lovely with so much provided for the children. There was lots of space for everyone and plenty of room around the table for us all to dine together. The eggs provided in welcome pack and sold at the end of the lane were the nicest Ive ever eaten. The owners were very friendly and helpful.

We have just returned from a weekend stay and loved every minute of it. We were a party of 9, spread plus a dog and the cottage was perfect. It had that perfect combination of feeling luxurious but so so comfortable. We were lucky to have perfect weather and spent most of the weekend outdoors in the fabulous garden. Our granddaughter loved the play house and swings and the bigger kids enjoyed re-living their youth on the skate ramp and table tennis table. We will definitely return

We cant wait to go back!

We had a fantastic week, thank you for making us feel so welcome. The house is gorgeous and is in such a beautiful setting, with fields of sheep and lambs around the property.

We are looking forward to returning!
