Cottage very well kept, clean and comfortable. Well equipped, lovely garden. Very quiet location but good for touring local places. Ideal for walkers. One minor complaint bushes in front of conservatory overgrown spoiling outlook.

Our 2nd visit to Holly Cottage was just as agreeable as the first. It provided a complete switch-off - just what was needed!The only minor snags were the somewhat rugged approach to the cottage, which was a little hard on the suspension, and the water pressure through the shower, which was very low. Other than those details, everything was superb. Thank you very much indeed.
