    "Had such a lovely time at this cottage."

    It was exactly what we were looking for. The guide the owners provided prior to arriving gave us the advanced warning to local facilities (roughly 10mins in car) and very accurate description on how to get there as sat nav in the car didn’t find the property initially. Hot tub was amazing. So peaceful. Loved looking out for the owls and adding to the wildlife journal. If you are up for it there are books in the cottage which provide some local information on sites for walks but for us it was purely about relaxation. Owners kept in touch to make sure we didn’t need hot tub water topped up. And the cittage itself is so well equipped that you have washing machine and tumbled dryer to help avoid the mounting of washing on the return home.

    Thank you for your lovely review, and choosing to book with us. We're so glad you had such a relaxing peaceful time. and thank you for being the first to write in our wildlife log! The swallows are one of our favourite things about summer here. We very much hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner

    "Beautiful, quiet peaceful spot, the cottage has everything you need and is in immaculate order."

    The hot tub was relaxing, and from there we saw buzzards, and the resident owl hunting

    Thank you so much for the lovely review. We're so glad you had a lovely peaceful stay, and got to see the Owl's from the hot tub! We hope to see you both again in the future. Kind Regards Susan and James. Property Owner
