"We had a really lovely break in Pond Cottage and would recommend it but with only one consideration."
We couldn’t take full advantage of the patio setting as there was an ongoing wasp problem. The notice regarding bees outside the window was misleading as they were wasps entering into the wall outside the shower room. These can be exterminated quite easily by professionals and we in this hot weather would have been able to open doors and other windows and feel at ease.

"The hoilday was amazing love the pond the walk around the place was very calm and relaxing the garden needed to be looked after abit better e."
G Bridge by water fall very over grown. The small little house is amazing for 2 people the tv bits slow but ok cooker is great the layout is amazing and well designed the radiator in the bathroom need to have an off switch as make the bathroom and bedroom very hot and hard to sleep we had to shut bathroom door all day to be able to sleep at night. This place is for older people I would not recommend for younger couples as not much to do around the area unless you want to go for long walks what we found to do it end up being a very nice hoilday. Hoist was amazing to speak to just next door if need them. Was not too happy the we was not updated that there was a bees nest outside the house by are door. I would recommend to my older family and friends as its a amazing to have a peaceful and calm hoilday to sit and relax great for weekends hoilday.

Several people commented on the comfortable bed and we certainly found it so and slept very well. There was a fantastic welcome pack on arrival and the owner also popped round to make sure we had everything we needed. The view from the cottage window was an unexpected bonus, we overlooked the pond and it was delightful and very restful.

We will most definitely stay here again, it was perfect for all our needs.
We would like to make you aware that the directions were confusing - the cottage was named as Pond View but it is actually set within the grounds of Old Mill House. We arrived in the dark and the signage was not clear. Directions also said that the house would be found on the left as you drive down Old Mill Lane - the property is actually on the right. After driving round the block a few times we decided to go into Old Mill House to ask for directions and that is when we found Pond View!
