The cottage's location is consistently praised for being quiet, convenient, and close to town, with easy access to local attractions and amenities.

The cottage is well-equipped, but some maintenance issues like difficult-to-open kitchen cupboards and non-locking windows were mentioned. The lack of a clothes airer was also noted.

Cottage was excellent, good size, garden enclosed for dog. Everything on hand, good walks and plenty of eating places in Stockbridge. Would certainly recommend and re- visit. Good price for cottage, area and amenities.

Willow Cottage was very welcoming and we felt at home as soon as we stepped through the front door.Everything was clean, the beds very comfortable, the kitchen well equipped and the owners were very helpful.The garden was enclosed, very useful for our furry friend and had plenty of garden seating,Would recommend a stay in Willow Cottage.

We had a great Monday to Friday break with our dog.The location is great just at the edge of town. Quiet location. There's lots to do in town and close by.It's somewhere we'd go back to.The cottage was well equipped inside and out.
