Margaret
The furnishings are all very comfortable and up to date, easily accommodating six people, beds with crisp duvets and multiple pillows, and modern bathrooms with loads of fluffy towels. The kitchen has all the equipment you need if you want to cook family meals, or the two pubs and fish n chip shop are just a few steps away in the village. Nice to have a washer-dryer in the house if needed. Our host was very accommodating and available as needed, but all was so well organised that we didnât need much! We shall always look to see if this gem is available when we travel this way again!

Beautiful cottage, spacious and comfortable, we really enjoyed our stay here. Very clean and well equipped. The village is very pretty with great shops, local pubs and a great fish and chip shop.

Area quiet and village friendly. The only problem was with the downstairs en suite. Unpleasant smell, had been noted by previous guests. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay and would recommend Hurst Green highly.
