A very peaceful, well equipped and comfortable little cottage. The swimming pool was a wonderful bonus. Swam every day after exploring the area.

knee and back problems. The cottage is in a beautiful location which we really appreciated but when eating at the dining table the hedge needed to be a few feet lower. But loved it so much we have booked it again for next year. Thank you for providing a lovely holiday cottage from these owners.

A beautiful cottage finished to a very high standard. Everything was clean and well maintained. The pool was a real bonus and the pool area was lovely and spacious. Great outside spaces. Be prepared to drive down narrow, single track lanes to access the property.

All accessories are Joseph and Joseph and all bedding John Lewis, so the owners go the extra mile to make one feel at home. Stewart is very helpful and informative.
