    Lovely and clean and once we got the hang of the heating it was very cosy too. The sun rises are amazing (weather permitting). From the cottage we spotted deer in the fields and loads of different birds. It was lovely watching the squirrel in the trees too. The bed was a little uncomfortable for us but I do suffer badly with back problems so would not bother others. All in all a beautifully converted carriage.

    It is a really comfortable ‘house’, well equipped, space is well laid out. It felt somewhat like a cocoon to me, really nice and warm. Loved to see the deer near the treeline, the pheasants around the carriage and heard foxes and owls, so rural! I couldn’t fault it. I would highly recommend it and would love to stay here again.

    An enjoyable experience to stay in such a quirky place, with many home comforts.
