    The cottages x2 are beautifully renovated and hold everything you could want/need for your stay. Visits from the 2 cats, Dominic and sausage were a joy. We will be back as soon as we can.

  • Stuart

    Underfloor heating in living space is great. Hot tub and outdoor area work well. Welcomed by the owner who was very helpful throughout our stay.

  • Antony

    Matt, our host, was very welcoming and friendly. On arrival, there was complimentary milk, fresh juice, biscuits and flowers. The cottage was spotless and provided everything and more, needed for our stay. The farm cats (Dominic and Sausage) were an added bonus for us (cat lovers). Both are very friendly. The hot tub was luxurious, and has great views. 10/10. Looking forward to staying again soon.
