We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at the beginning of September, it was a really lovely quiet spot and had more than you could ask for, plenty of equipment and utensils for cooking. Great size fridge and freezer and a really comfy living room to sit and relax after a long day. Comfy beds and plenty of wardrobe space and draws so you aren't living out of a suitcase. You really can make this place a home from home. The horses next to us was an added bonus to drive in and see. The hosts from start to finish were super friendly and kind. I had a mishap where I left something behind and thanks to Ruth it was sorted in no time at all. I would definitely recommend this place!

We really enjoyed our stay in the Haymakers with our dog. It's a lovely, dog friendly cottage, in a beautiful location and very convenient to so many interesting places. The cottage is cosy, well equipped and we felt very well looked after. We would love to stay here again.

Haymakers is part of a wonderful group of cottages, the site is immaculate. The cottage itself is perfect. It was spotless and had everything we needed, very comfortable. Would certainly return and highly recommend it to others.
