We loved our stay - cosy, relaxing and peaceful - the canal walks near the cottage and the wild birds visible from the property were a real treat. The nearby cafe was great too!

Swift was immaculate with everything we needed included, and a nice surprise of a festive tree. Thank you for the welcome pack and a relaxing break. We would love to return in the summer
