We had a lovely family holiday. The cottage was beautifully decorated with lots of thoughtful touches on arrival that made us feel very welcome and at home. The cottage was comfortable and very clean. There was lots to do in the local area and the kids had a fantastic time! Would 100% recommend and definitely visit again. Thank you for making our holiday amazing

Our family of four, plus two dogs, had an excellent week staying at Riccal Heads. The pictures of the cottage don’t do it justice and the owner was very helpful with local insight. Locally a public footpath next to the farm was great for walking dogs in picturesque countryside and The Crown in nearby Hutton le Hole a lovely venue for family meal.
