It was perfect from start to finish, rock cakes made for arrival, freshly laid eggs for breakfast, log burner lit for us. Wendy and Adrian left us alone but were there if we needed anything at anytime, was lovely waking up looking out at the horses and eating in the dining room looking out at the birds on the bird table.. would definitely recommend

Only a two night stay but amazing. We wanted a good walk for my sister’s birthday. This was perfect walks from the door step, nice clean cottage, yet just a short drive to the nearest town. Wendy was great helping us with the real fire, both Wendy and partner was friendly but not in our space. Need to go back two days not enough time to see everything. Would definitely recommend.

It was our second stay at the cottage, we love it there. Wendy & Adrian are so welcoming, there is everything you need in the cottage for a very comfortable stay. It’s very peaceful, beautiful countryside. Lovely walking countryside all around the cottage. Will be going back. It’s great to look out of the window & see the horses.
