The beautiful house is set not far from the river ebble. This house has a wonderful kitchen that had 5 cooks all happily preparing food, with ample tools, pots and pans, crockery and cutlery for our 12 person dinner party. The rooms are lovely with star rooms being the main bedroom and annex. We used this house for our base for our family wedding at Bowerchalk barn, and it proved fantastic. The welcome gift of a delicious bottle of wine was very much appreciated and our dog was welcome.

It's a wonderful place to unwind. We were there with three generations at once and really enjoyed having plenty of space. Everything is arranged with great care. The Everhot was a bit of a challenge for us at first, but it's actually great for cooking together. The location is lovely, but unfortunately, there was more traffic than usual on the street in front of the house, probably due to detours – we hadn't expected that so early in the morning on our holiday.

This was quite the nicest cottage we have ever rented. The welcome was lovely (bottle of wine and shortbread - thank you). We would definitely rent this place again as we have family nearby. Thank you for a making our family so welcome.
