This is our third stay at Cenwulf & will definitely be back again. The location is perfect, close to all the amenities and having its own designated parking space makes a huge difference. The garden is perfect for our dog and has a comfortable seating area at the top with great views and a lovely place to relax.

Second stay at this lovely cottage. The view from the summerhouse is fabulous. The narrow twisty staircase adds to the quirkiness. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed.
