Beautiful cottage, well kept with plenty of space.Huge garden that felt like a fairytale. Clean and comfortable. Plenty of extra pillows. The only thing hay impacted our comfort was that it was a heatwave and understandably the cottage was incredibly warm! Worth bringing your own fan if you're likely to be visiting in hot weather.

This is an exceptional cottage. Beautiful location, with stunning garden and interiors. It's one of the best equipped cottages we've stayed in and we have no hesitation in recommending it.

Lovely cottage but lacking in a few basics to make it work better ie a washing up bowl, tin foil/cling film, sugar, instant coffee. Welcome pack is good especially if you’ve traveled from quite far away.
