We had a fantastic stay at this lovely cottage! The location was perfect – peaceful yet just a short walk from Whitchurch town centre and the railway station. The cottage itself was beautiful with everything we could need, including smart tv, books and board games for cosy evenings in, plus a very well equipped kitchen. The log burner fire added a perfect touch of warmth and charm, and the hot tub was a real treat after days out exploring. We also had a Christmas tree which made our stay extra special. The owners were friendly and easy to contact, providing clear directions and helpful information before our arrival. It really felt comfortable, well-maintained, and full of thoughtful touches. We’d definitely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!
