Fabulous weekend spent in this beautiful cottage. The pictures do not do it justice - beautifully equipped, immaculate and brilliant value for money. The cottage is set in the grounds of the estate and there are great walks from the door. Kimberly was so helpful before our visit recommending local pubs and helping us with ideas for walks. I took my dog and they are very relaxed although I was worried about the cream carpets. The garden isn’t fully enclosed but I just kept him in a lead. We will definitely return to such a picturesque spot. Perfect for relaxing away from it all. Look out for the postbox to help to find it. Thanks for a perfect birthday weekend

Everything excellent except the boiler did not work properly and we had small amounts of hot water only. Expected to be offered a reduction because of this but no compensation offered.
