Would Definitely Book this Property Again

Accommodation is brilliant in a fantastic location really clean with a vast garden we would re-book this property again. Only disappointment was advertised as having a BBQ, Welcome Pack and Logs, BBQ was old and broken welcome Pack and Logs not there. It could also do with some garden maintenance, it could be such a lovely garden but weeds are taking over to the extent that the patio is almost hidden.the lawns were well kept though. These issues did not spoil our break but could have improved it.

Great sized house and garden, very peaceful no near neighbours.

Great sized house and garden, very peaceful no near neighbours. Saw lots of deer running around the area of the house. Very cosy and comfortable, well equipped everything you needed, even a box of stuff for the dog (toys, blanket, towels etc.) On the negative side - had to go out into porch/utility room for the fridge which was very cold when we were there (Late October). No signage to the cottage, would benefit from name of cottage at house, as we had difficulty finding the house on arrival.

One of the best cottages we’ve ever hired.

One of the best cottages we’ve ever hired. It was huge, ideal for a larger group, with loads of room to spread out. It was very comfortable, with great bathroom facilities, washer and drier, and lots of other home comforts. It is also in a great location for exploring the area. There was a lovely welcome pack for us on arrival, the beds were comfy and the heating system was good as the weather wasn’t the best.
