The welcoming package was appreciated, especially the Presecco, as was the personal welcome. The cottage was extremely clean. The accomasdation, whilst 'cosy' was made to feel more spacious by the covered patio which in effect added a further room. The cottage was really well eqipped and it was made clear that if we required more crockery/cutlery etc for visiting family members we only had to ask. We really enjoyed the view from the cottage.

This was about the fourth time we have stayed at Holders cottage and just love the peace and quiet and the view of the field and woods from the covered veranda ideal for dogs and couldn’t have a more welcoming and friendly hosts as Hannah and Karen. We will certainly be going again.

We had a fabulous time! Hannah and Karen were very warm and welcoming. The accomodation was immaculate and clean with everything we needed. I think that's because they spent some time living in it themselves. It's super dog friendly with access to a field at the back. Just be aware that the field isn't enclosed if you have one of 'those' dogs 😄. Just fields and fields beyond so not near a road. The outside decking is enclosed though. Very quiet location down a private road. Loved watching the pigeons practising their flights. As someone else mentioned... The cockerel is very polite and doesn't crow early 😜 There's a new chalet being built next door which is worth keeping your eyes on..we had a tour and it's looks to be equally as beautiful. Oh and homemade bread and scones (clotted cream and jam), fresh eggs on arrival. Thanks ladies! It was a lovely Birthday getaway.
