  This was our second stay at Nelli Lodge.

  The first stay was in February when the weather was cold and crisp and the second in a very hot September! We were so pleased to experience both, as the fire was perfect for feb and the garden was lovely in the sunshine. The hot tub was useable in both conditions. You have everything you need here, the hosts are very welcoming and easily contactable should you need anything but otherwise let you get on with your stay and you don’t see them. There was lovely little finishing touches like fresh scones, jam and cream. A toy and playmat was even provided for our little one, as well as high chair and cot. They have an egg shed next to their house with fresh chicken eggs available. The lodge is a short walk into the village which is really sweet and a small community. All the cottages look lovely and the village is really nicely looked after. We paid a trip to the ring of bells pub which only took us 25mins to walk to. This is one of the recommended pubs, we didn’t know what to expect but it was nice and cosy, a traditional style pub but if you are looking for proper pub grub this would not be the place, the food here is restaurant standard and more gourmet than your typical pie and mash. The half moon inn has a really nice beer garden which we recommend you check out if the weather is nice! And the fisherman’s cot pub is more of your typical pub grub food and is located on a stream which is really cool to sit by the window and enjoy watching the water flow by. All in all, this staycation is 10/10!

  Our stay at Orchard Retreat was simply perfect, The owners were incredibly accommodating from the moment we arrived, we were given a lengthy and detailed tour accompanied with some brilliant recommendations, we felt so at ease right away.

  The cabin itself had everything you could need for a cosy getaway, the interior is so well done and everything was of a very high quality. The hot tub was the Piece De Resistance, it was such an easy setup and the fact it maintained a constant temperature meant we could get in whenever we liked, the speakers made it even more wonderful once you were sat inside, we used the hot tub 2 or 3 times a day when we were there. The views out over the fields and the surrounding trees made the perfect backdrop to sit and gaze out into. Every morning we were able to sit and watch the Large birds flying around and one morning we even saw the farmer herding the sheep. The fire pit was so good to have on the chilly mornings and evenings, the firelighters provided worked a treat and our firewood was replenished when we asked. The hosts answered our calls and questions whenever we had anything we needed to know and were incredibly friendly during our entire stay. Their 4 legged friends were also a delight. In terms of places to go and things to do, you certainly won't run out, the local farm shop is juts a 10 minute drive and the produce in there was to die for! We went for a lovely long walk on our last day and visited the 13th century church on the recommendations of our host. It was a brilliant and picturesque walk with so many good photo opportunities. We really couldn't have asked for a better stay and will most certainly be visiting again!

  We chatted with Samantha the lovely host on arrival and departure so this won’t come as a surprise.

  We absolutely loved this place. The perfect get away. Sam has thought of everything from underfloor heating, full sized oven and fridge, smart tv, Bluetooth your music to the hot tub. Bath robes for getting in & out of the hot tub. So cost with amazing views along with a fenced in garden, the orchard garden, and huge field all for our sole use giving us privacy as well peace of mind for the dogs to run around safely without fear of running off and getting lost. We mentioned how nice it would be to have sun lounge or reclining chairs in the immediate garden to enjoy the views in the sunny afternoons / evenings. We have dogs and a crate so we needed to dismantle the table and chairs & stow them under the bed which was fine but we thought perhaps a bistro set could be placed in the summer house as an option. Oh one thing I forgot to mention to Sam directly was a mini microwave would have been handy however it wasn’t a major thing as it’s really also quite nice getting back to basics. We will be returning, we stayed 4 nights and could have stayed longer. Just perfect.

  Absolutely loved our stay here.

  The hut was comfortable and cosy, and very clean. Really well equipped with everything we needed plus a lovely welcome basket including lots of treats for our dog. I was a little worried about space having never stayed in a hut like this before, but it was surprisingly roomy and they have installed some clever storage like an ottoman bed. Location is great, a short drive to a few pubs and lots of other things to do, and onsite you have access to a large private closed off field (great for the dog), and a games room (which we didn’t end up using but looked fab!). And an amazing view to wake up to over the fields, we enjoyed laying in bed with a coffee watching the sheepdogs herd the sheep in the far field! The owners are also super friendly and couldn’t have been more accommodating, with recommendations and when we needed help with a couple of things. It’s clear they really take pride in providing a lovely place to stay. Overall we were very sad to leave and would love to come back one day!

  We stayed here over new year with our dogs and it was perfect. Beautiful location, amazing cottage, no detail overlooked. Well equipped kitchen and had everything you would find in your own kitchen at home. Perfectly secure garden for the dogs and the hot tub was an added bonus. The host were lovely and made us feel super welcome. Felt like a very private cottage. We did cook most nights but did order takeaway one night as there is a couple in the area. Close by is a town that has all you need if you run out of anything. The cottage was immaculate, bed super comfy and wifi very good. We felt perfectly safe and secure at the cottage but were far enough away from other buildings that we had privacy. Myself, partner and the girls (doggies) had an amazing time here and would love to come back in the future.
