A lovely cottage in a brilliant location.

The cottage had everything you needed to enjoy the stay and it felt very much like home, it was also more spacious downstairs than I expected. My only minor criticism are that the toilet seat needs fixing (was OK to use but does need fixing to prevent someone sliding off), the twin bedroom had limited space (OK for kids or 1 adult but probably not ideal for 2) and there were too many scent diffusers around (a personal preference, I prefer the smell of cleaning products but this was easily resolved by putting them in the cupboard). Overall we were really happy with the property and would definitely stay here again!

Absolutely loved Nutkin Cottage.

Extremely comfortable and clean. It had everything you could possibly need. My only tiny change would be to have a blackout blind or hang curtains in the back bedroom as it was very light. We had a really enjoyable stay and will definitely book again.
