Reviewers find the cottage comfortable, noting cosy furnishings, well-equipped rooms, and a homely feel. The provision of a hot tub adds to the comfort enjoyed by guests.

The facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen, hot tub, and secure garden, receive high praise. However, one mention of the stairs being difficult for those with mobility issues suggests a slight deduction, despite plans to rectify this.

    Recently stayed with my husband 3 kids and baby and we had a lovely time. Everything you need is there! Lovely touch with milk in the fridge & ice in the freezer on arrival. The storage room next door full of dvds and games is an added bonus for the kids. Extremely greatful for the Christmas decorations it made my stay! The owners go above and beyond for guests! Hot tubs are largest I’ve seen and a lovely temperature. Our lodge was cold but the log burner gave it the Christmassy feeling which is what we wanted! Nice little park just up road and plenty of nice walking routes. We will return! Thank you so much
