A real home from home. It has everything you could possibly need for a relaxing holiday. It is spotlessly clean and the owner seemed really nice. Watching the the various finches in the garden was really nice. Great base to explore the local area. Only 2 minor niggles was the 4 poster bed was a bit hard for our liking and the road outside is long and straight and can get a bit noisy with the bedroom window open. I couldn't let this detract from the overall experience because everything else was so good.

From beginning to end we couldn't fault the cottage. Jeanette met us as we were opening up and there was milk, tea, coffee, sugar, dog treats and poo bags waiting for us - also food and water bowls for the dog. A huge box of firewood and kindling was also provided. Books, games and even a piano in the dining room. Three lovely bedrooms with comfy beds. Downstairs toilet - handy if you have an older family member or are toilet training 🤣. Would highly recommend - but please don't book October half term as all being well we want to come again next year!
