Excellent cottage with a lovely rear garden and external seating. Unfortunately due to the rather cool weather we did not enjoy the benefits of them. The welcome pack was brilliant and cottage very clean. Quiet village with very little traffic noise at rush hour.

We loved our stay at 'The Cottage'. It was spotlessly clean, well equipped and very comfortable. It was a home from home. Our dog loved the garden which was a suntrap. Everyone we met in the village was friendly and welcoming. Communication with our host, Katie, was excellent. We cannot recommend the cottage highly enough and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.
