Wonderful time had by all. We are a family of 6 adults and 2 small children. One double room is small, but great for the 2 adults who only stayed for a couple of nights. Loads of room downstairs and more than enough space in lounge to sit and play games.

Without a doubt the best place we’ve stayed in the UK. The cottage was lovely and homely with everything we could possibly need. Was lovely to have an enclosed garden for the children and dogs to play. Close to some lovely places too. Would highly recommend.
