“There was a lot more than expected.”

The home baked cakes were appreciated. There was so much that you could do. The games room was a bonus, also all the games to play and DVDs if you wanted to watch them. My grandchildren said can we all come back again, they throughly enjoyed it. It was a lovely way to celebrate my 70th birthday.

“Our second time and did not disappoint”

- Mr Langridge, August 2019
“The Clealings is a lovely spacious holiday property with extensive garden and was perfect for our family to enjoy a week together.”

Very well equipped and impressive on arrival. The yummy welcome pack was a most welcome surprise. The owner was in touch during our stay and was very helpful. Would certainly recommend to anyone looking for a break in this area.

- Mrs Dye, July 2019
“Lovely welcome pack on arrival inc scones, cakes, bread and essentials”

- Mrs Brown, June 2019
“Cottage was great.”

Superb location, huge amounts of garden land for the children to run about in. Slide / swings that the kids loved too (although it was on the other side of the house to the patio / decking so there wasn't anywhere for adults to sit while supervising the kids - would be better for that equipment to be in the other side of the garden). House was well stocked with cooking equipment and entertainment, beds were comfy too.

- Mr Walmsley, June 2019
“Great cottage, has everything you need, and the arrival cake was delicious!”

- Miss Southern,
“Cottage was excellent, seemed to be plenty of room for the 10 of us.”

the fifth bedroom reached through the fourth was a bit awkward but we were advised of this beforehand and it didnt really inconvenience anyone.

- Mr Garlick,
“Perfect in every way!”

- Mr Parkes, .,
“The Clealings was in a lovely location.”

The cottage was excellent for our party

- Mr Centracchio,
“It was a stunning property in a stunning location.”

There wasn't anything the owner hadn't thought of. The cakes and welcome basket on arrival was a really thoughtful touch too!! We would definitely return and I know a number of us have already recommended the property to friends.

- Mrs Fedden,
“The cottage was immaculate and very well-equipped.”

The layout really suited a large group and we didn't feel on top of each other at all. Very well sound-proofed, especially in protecting adults' sleep in from early morning interruption by small children. Having three toilets was great too. The land surrounding it was stunning. Even in waterlogged January it was brilliant to have such a vast garden to roam in. The separate TV room was great for the children too. The cottage was very warm and snug. The owner was quick to respond when we ran out of various things. Wifi too!

- Mrs Mitchell,
“The cottage had everything we needed and extra ( excellent cake, flapjacks etc) ...”

The cottage had everything we needed and extra ( excellent cake, flapjacks etc) bigger than we thought and grounds were amazing

- Mr Gibson,
“We have typically stayed in two cottages per year for many years and this is probably the best so far.”

The cottage was spacious, had modern fittings, styled to our taste and very well equipped. The fantastic welcome pack surpassed any expectations and the great games room got plenty of use (aside from the pool table the cottage had loads of games, books and dvds). Massive plot and a helpful, friendly owner. Mr Fothergill, April 2017.

- Fothergill,
“The cottage is a fantastic place to stay, with plenty of room and all the facilities you could imagine.”
