We enjoyed our Christmas at East Tarrel Cottages very much. Darren & Ali really went the extra mile and more to ensure we had a great time. Extremely well decorated for the holiday. Loads of Christmas goodies and even a Christmas present each. The only minor criticism is the lack of bedside table on one side in the main bedroom and very low ceiling on the other, such that I cracked my head painfully several times. Perhaps there is a way to reorganise the furniture to avoid this hazard. However, I would still highly recommend this cottage.

The cottage was beautifully prepared, and actually looked better than the photographs. A welcome pack was thoughtfully provided with esentials. Comfy, cosy, and really easy to live in, with a secure garden that our Labrador loved - we will definitely be back.
