Tawny Cottage is absolutely fantastic, set in a perfect location. The cottage was spotless and clearly very well maintained. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need, and the welcome pack was a lovely touch.The bedroom was beautiful with a comfortable, firm bed, and the upstairs bathroom was stylish and immaculately clean, with toilet rolls provided. The downstairs rainfall shower was excellent too.Outside, the seating area and hot tub were simply perfect, making it an incredibly relaxing place to unwind. Viv and Bruce were both very friendly and helpful throughout our stay.We had a wonderful week and would highly recommend this cottage—so much so that we’ve already booked to return next year!

Stayed at Tawny Cottage 17th till 20th April 2026. Great weekend. Excellent hosts Viv and Bruce. Could not fault this place one of the best we have stayed in. Very clean, well equipped and the hot tub was private and a real bonus. Walks from the door and lovely countryside all around. Nice welcome pack on arrival as well. Thanks to Viv and Bruce.
