Clean and simple holiday home, with patio with an absolutely stunning view. Ducks, swans, geese and even a heron occupy the lake in front of a pretty tree screen. Ample books and video library for more than a two week stay. Location is excellent for walks or visits to stately homes and idyllic villages. We left an ordnance survey map of the area for the benefit of future occupants. Suggestion: share a WIFI service with the neighbours, as non access to the web was a challenge.

Super location
Beautiful location. Didn’t appreciate walking through face height cobwebs throughout the property. After previous reviews stating issues trying to get hot water we understood this to have been addressed, however, there was no hot water and no guidance. We eventually sussed things out but a bit of concern initially. Nice homely and comfortable place to stay.

A pleasant, comfortable stay
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Fairly remote if you like it quiet. Lovely surroundings. Everything we needed in the well-equipped cottage. It would have been useful to have a help sheet for boiler for heating and hot water, as we don’t like to fiddle with it and it wasn’t on when we arrived, although Lisa said it should have been.
