Previous visitors' comments about The Old Dairy:
The house was really great! We could find no faults. It has obviously been recently renovated to a very high degree. Its very comfortable and we would definitely stay there again.
Mrs Riley, Telford, February 2012
The cottage was cosy and warm, spotless and the welcome hamper was a real delight. The village location was a bonus and good accessibility to other areas.
Mrs MacDonald, Clacton-on-Sea, January 2012
The Old Dairy is very homely and a lovely place to come back to. A lovely touch of a hamper, perfect for arriving late and not knowing the area. Great having the butcher next door. Perfect location for what we needed. Thank you!
Mrs Smith, Ranui, December 2011
We had a lovely week at The Old Dairy. The cottage was beautifully presented, no detail missed even had a lovely welcome hamper with wine and home made goodies! The owners family have done a wonderful job, it was a really comfortable home. We would love to go back, they even made our dogs welcome with bed and treats! Thank you all.
