We had an amazing time. We wanted to be remote but accessible to walks and villages and we got that! Everything was clean and in excellent working order. The owners were on hand (via WhatsApp) if we had any issues and they did an amazing job of decorating for Christmas and providing a little welcome hamper, milk, cheese and bubbly. We made sure we took firewood and enough food so as not to have to go shopping while we were there. Stunning and relaxing - we’ll be back to star gaze!

This was my second visit to Horsley cottage, and I was just as impressed this time. The cottage is set in beautiful grounds and retains a wonderful aura of the woodsman cottage it began life as. Fully heated with a big log burner , it is very warm and the kitchen and bathroom are modern and spotless. The main attraction is the wonderful forested grounds which go on and on. It is a little remote for shops etc but there is a shop 3 miles away that sells everything.
