We have been to Lavender Cottage twice now and yet again had a lovely time. It is immaculate and cosy and would definitely recommend it. It's in a good location with pubs (The Recruiting Sargent is virtually nextdoor) and takeaways near by.

Lavender Cottage is lovely, I would recommend this place to anyone. The cottage itself is cosy and warm, immaculately decorated and furnished and equipped with everything you need. The neighbours are friendly too. Just go into the pub next door and everyone will recommend places to go. The area is very pretty at this time of year but we would also like to go back in the summer. Our dog Ruby had a great time on the walks that we recommended to us. Absolutely fabulous
