Great stay at the cottage over a weekend. There was plenty of space and had all the kitchen equipment needed to cook. Very cosy and beautiful property. Nearby to local shops including a large Tesco, M&S etc in the Princess Alice retail park. Highly recommend if you’re looking to stay in local area

We absolutely loved this house. It had so much character and had been restored so beautifully that we really felt as though we were going back in time. Clean, spacious and nice and cosy, even in January. The lovely wood burner and comfy sofas and even comfier beds meant we had a very relaxing stay indeed. We loved the features such as the spiral stair case, ancient wooden doors and all the quirky nooks and corners. The garden was very appealing too- and completely dog-escape proof as far as we could tell. We certainly hope to return!
