Nigel and Helen were so welcoming and friendly. Christine's stable was perfect for us, so clean and there was everything you needed! Welcome pack was so nice to arrive to. Beautiful setting and the ponies in the field next door were lovely. My Mum mentioned how helpful a shower mat would be and before we knew it a new one had been delivered to our door! Sarah the housekeeper was so lovely too who we met on departure. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended!

The cottage was very comfortable and homely. A lot of thought had gone into little extras like the vase of flowers. Much appreciated. Would love to come back to this cottage.
