Lovely stay in Sandstones very quiet and peaceful. Welcome basket delightful as well as beautiful local butter and even milk waiting in the fridge. Cottage very spacious. The beds were particularly comfortable - I would say the best away from home bed I have ever known. The linen and towels were superb 5** in fact. Fantastic showers. Kitchen equipment was excellent with everything one needed. Even laundry detergent available if required. Hot tub was very popular and maintained on a daily basis. Very good local pub - White Lion - above average pub food and local grocery store was well stocked. All in all a smashing place which I have no hesitation in recommending especially for a family or friends get together. Also owner very helpful if needed.

This cottage felt very comfortable for 5 adults, 2 12 year olds & 1 dog. It had the look and feel that I was looking for as I wanted something with character.The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, the bathrooms were more than adequate, the dining area was great and also the 2 lounges, although the sofas were very low for oldies! The hot tub was a big hit and the garden was definitely secure for our dog. The location was quiet with a lovely pub close by.I would definitely recommend it
