Florina Cottage felt like our own little secret escape. The wide open fields gave us space to breathe, and soaking in the hot tub at sunset was honestly magic. We arrived to a welcome basket with local treats such a thoughtful touch that set the tone for the whole stay. Peaceful, private, and full of charm. Already planning our return.

A warm welcome. Accommodation was well equipped, certain things in the accommodation looked tired, the bed was uncomfortable. The set up with hot tub and swimming pool was great.

Pretty site with deer that visited each day ! We all loved the heated pool ! Great facilities of a high speck in the house. Beds were sooo comfy ! Plenty of space for our swingball and badminton net. Great book with all local information to know where you can pop too for dinner.. although we cooked three times in the fantastic kitchen ! Lovely host , well kept grounds .. great holiday x x
