Great location and great cottage. We stayed for a weekend for a small family reunion and the cottage was perfect, just what we needed. The kitchen, dinning room and sitting area were perfect for our large group for sitting round and chatting. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking for a big group of people. The cottage was sparkling clean from top to bottom and there was so many little extra lovely touches. The jacuzzi was brilliant and lovely views of the sunset from the decking. We really hope to be back!

Absolutely fantastic lodge, perfect home & hosts for a family gathering - including a baby, kids and doggos.The Village Hall had everything we wanted and more, it felt so homely and relaxed as soon as we arrived.We were met by the owner Mark on arrival who was extremely welcoming and helpful. The smaller touches which inlcuded locally baked bread, cakes and treats left for us, made a huge difference and were a big hit with the family, especially the sweet tooths.The Interior and designs of every room in the lodge were all to such a great standard and gave off such a warm modern feeling.Would highly recommend staying here and will 100% be back again. Great location and a great experience all round.Thank you again

This house was simply stunning. As you walk in the front door you are hit by the wow factor.We were met by Mark and Jo who gave us a detailed walk through showing all you needed to know about the house.5 large and beautifully styled bedrooms, plenty bathroom space with scented candles, bath bombs and individual bath robes and slippers.Kitchen is huge so no fear of feeling cramped in larger groups.The dining area that goes into the living area is tastefully decorated. The heart of the living area is a 3 sided log burner that quickly kicks the heat out.Outside there is seating in the summer and a large hot tub.The location is also excellent as it is less than a 2 min walk to an excellent pub and then across the road a lovely Italian that also does take away.Loads to do/see around the area.Thank you for our weekend.
