Just returned from a week’s family holiday the cottage was absolutely lovely. Immaculately presented, beautifully decorated and comfortable. There was plenty of space as the rooms were surprisingly large, the sun room was my favourite just being able to sit in peace and quite looking over the garden with sun streaming in was so relaxing and I had the pleasure of seeing two dear come through the woodland and cross the garden early one morning. Suzie and Dan the owners were delightful and happy to help with any issues. Oh and the hot tub was great as well we will definitely be booking again
