What a hidden gem, cute little hide away. It's an awesome base to visit London, the local area or just chilling out reflecting on your normal busy life. It had everything you would need. The bed was so comfortable. Defo, will keep this as a future booking in our pocket. Just ticked all the boxes. We had a lovely & perfect break.

Lovely cottage and super clean. Hosts were easy to contact before and during. A shame that the internet was down and we had to have them come to the cottage for an hour to try and sort it out. We realise that this couldn’t be helped and they tried their best to sort it for us but couldn’t. Was just a shame as it was only a two night stay and we couldn’t sit down to watch a film like we wanted to. Still 5 stars overall as they were super polite and lovely people. Was just one of those things
