    In the heart of the countryside with woodland and lots of birds it was a proper haven and so peaceful. Look forward to a return trip.

  • "A lovely, superbly appointed property."

    A great shower and excellent accommodation. A well appointed kitchen and dining area with a separate fridge and freezer. If you want a peaceful, relaxing holiday, this is the place to come. Our hosts, Ian and Ali, are lovely caring and knowledgeable couple, it was a delight to meet them. Set in the beautiful Heartlands country side, there is very little noise apart from the occasional aircraft and tractors. Plenty of walks especially for our Woofer! Heartlands Village farmers market is a must for a visit as are the local village pubs. Heartlands Quay is superb and there are lovely local places to visit, on foot or by car. We had a superb quiet 2 weeks stay and thoroughly recommend Windbury cottage.
