  • "We appreciated the owners are new, and they went out of their way to make the cottage ‘homely’."

    The plants are a lovely touch. All of our guests said the beds need an upgrade, and also a walk in shower on the ground floor would complete the accessibility. However, we had a very, very happy stay, and the cleanliness was immaculate.

  • "Fantastic property."

    Ideal for our family to enjoy a lovely weekend away together. Only a few minor issues: no lighter for the bbq, no shower in the 2nd double bedroom, intermittent internet, pulling out right of the driveway onto the main road difficult even in a mini, not in walking distance of anything. Even with these issues, I would still thoroughly recommend!
