It is beautifully furnished , clean and has a fenced garden for the dog . Joanna is an amazing host and has throughout both our stays been very helpful. We will be returning again within the next couple of months . I cannot recommend it highly enough

A wonderful stay in a beautiful, peaceful location. The estate office was incredibly kind and helpful and the cottage and its garden are cosy, comfortable and very well maintained. Lots to do and see if you can tear yourself away from the peace and beauty of the immediate surroundings! Would not hesitate to return.

The location of this cottage is excellent being on the wooded bank of a private reservoir in a private estate; furthermore it is within a very short distance of attractive villages, towns and cities, and the coast. The cottage was homely in the best way, comfortable and with all we required ready to hand. We relaxed from the first to the last moment and would most strongly recommend it.
