The cottage was very comfortable and well stocked with kitchenware , games etc. The jacuzzi was well maintained and in a sheltered spot with covered roof. Lovely countryside views from the cottage. A great family stay. It was easy to walk to Chipping village with its pubs and cafes.

Good location with lovely views, outdoor spaces and well maintained gardens. Great decor. Very well equipped. Only 10 mins walk into Chipping. Enjoyed the Sun inn and Brabins tea room. Some of the bedrooms are bit small -struggled for somewhere to put our suitcase. Perhaps could take some of the furniture out -like chest of drawers that you donât need for short stay?
