A lovely quiet cottage, with a nice garden & outside seating. We appreciated the kitchen having a suitable number of plates/pots/pans etc. The instructions should make it clear (in advance!) that BBQs aren't permitted in the garden, even if that's reasonable given the thatched roof.

Our family of 4 had a wonderful time at Owl Cottage for 7 nights. It was very clean and comfortable. It was also very quaint and calming. It was in the perfect setting and location and had everything we needed. We would definitely recommend and stay again. Thank you.

Lovely quaint thatched cottage in nice and quiet area. Beds very comfy and kitchen well equipped. Lovely to have welcome pack, and towels were provided plus tea towel and oven gloves which was appreciated. Lovely garden and tables and chair to relax on. Enclosed garden good for pets and children. Great holiday.
