The cottage was clean, comfortable, super comfy beds, plenty of space for us all. We had the best gathering we could possibly wish for and the space was perfect! Couldn't have wished for anything else. The hot tub was a great addition to our holiday. The owners were extremely helpful and friendly. It was great to see the farm horse which was a lovely view in the mornings. Weâre already looking to book our return trip and would highly recommend to anyone wanting a tranquil, relaxed weekend. Many thanks, William

Good but could be great with a little investment - no wifi in a modern day rental was frustrating, bed furniture, mattresses, bed linen and towels need urgent updating, felt all a bit budget - beds squeaked, bent metal frames, bits falling off - location, garden, kitchen, table, sofa area all great

Had a great stay and would come again :)
