Cottage was set in a lovely location on a working farm, so if it’s wet please expect some mud. The house itself was well equipped with lots of room and very well heated. Only down fall was the downstairs toilet had a problem flushing and the it could do with a little bit of decorating to freshen it up. All in all I would recommend it to others and i myself would return in the future.

We had a fantastic weekend here. Kids really enjoyed the use of the swimming pool. The old work shop was really homely. Few issues with radiators in bathrooms not working but the home was warm enough. E didnt report this as didnt get a chance as always in and out have messaged on return home. Ceiling in downstairs bedroom looks like it previously had a leak. Good value for money and we will defiently be returning.

Loved the swimming pool & the park, kids had a great time. Place was great for what we needed as a family get together. Had everything we needed. Only complaint would be the creaky beds & a couple extra bin bags would have been handy. Fab overall.
