    Meg was a fantastic host and extremely welcoming - she even put up a birthday banner and lovely message after finding out we were there for a birthday celebration which was a really lovely touch. The house was huge but also felt very homely and extremely well looked after, everything was clean, and the facilities and location were both great. I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough!

  • Alysha

    They checked in with us and we had a slight issue with hot water but we’re round immediately and rectified. Really nice place and very accommodating. Made us and the kids feel welcome, arrived to personal message for my mums surprise arrival for her 60th with Halloween cupcakes. Even said the kids could trick or treat to theirs :) lovely family, location and cottage :) thank you it really did make mums 60th special :) x

  • Kerry

    We stayed with 4 generations of our family from 18 months to 88 years! The hot tub was a firm favourite and the outside space was great with climbing frame and slide and a lovey touch was the homemade cakes! A personal birthday message was left on the blackboard which was great! The bedrooms and bathrooms were immaculate, five star cleanliness throughout the whole house. Games room was a bonus. Meg was easily contactable and responded by return if you had any questions. Would 100% recommend this house for all age groups. A stay with lots of family memories made!
