Guests were warmly welcomed by the hosts who provided a bottle of wine and cake, making them feel truly pampered. The cottage was spacious and comfortable, set in beautiful surroundings with plenty of wildlife. A perfect retreat!

I can’t say enough to convey how amazing our stay was here. My family and I were in the UK from the US and Canada and we loved our days spent out touring followed by peaceful and cozy evenings spent in the cottage. Diana was so kind and helpful, she walked through everything when we arrived and was wonderful to communicate with before and after our stay. Please go stay with them if you have the chance, I promise you won’t regret it!

This cottage was lovely to stay in! Hosts were very welcoming and cottage was big, more like house size which was great! Had all the facilities we needed like dishwasher, washing machine and dryer, as well as nice warm heating! Lake is right next to cottage and is really nice, plus cute ducks to look at. Surrounding area is beautiful, wish we could have stayed for longer! Property is close to main house but far enough away for privacy. Bare in mind some of the roads are very narrow and one way leading up to the cottage. A great quiet and rural location! Thank you for a lovely stay! :)

The property is in a good location. It needs to be modernised as there is no water pressure in the showers, the toilet downstairs is loose and wobbles.
