We were a family of 8 including 4 children of various ages for a family get together. We loved the cottage, full of character plus everything we could possibly need. Space for the kids to separate if they wanted to. Downstairs bedroom on the small side but We have already looked at going back

Lovely chocolate box thatched cottage with lots of outside space. The hot tub being enclosed was such a blessing as it rained the whole time we were there. Kitchen and dining space is excellent and well equipped and the two lounge areas are comfortable and cosy. Plenty of parking and within a few steps is pub. Would definitely recommend.

The cottage was perfect, so warm and cosy that we preferred to just stay in. Pubs and shops within walking distance with everything you need. Lovely big garden that I imagine would be even better to sit out in when it’s summer. Can’t fault any of it. There were 6 of us and the dog and there is enough rooms for everyone to have somewhere to chill out/lounge around. We all said we would definitely like to go back again. Lovely welcome pack on arrival and Mike checked in on day 2 to make sure all was okay
