We have had a very relaxing, peaceful holiday in lovely surroundings. The owner was very helpful and the cottage was very comfortable. It is on a single track road with passing places, which joins the main road into the nearest town, about 15 minutes away. We would definitely recommend Howard's End.

We had the most wonderful weekend at Howards End and left feeling completely relaxed and refreshed.Nestled in a beautiful rural setting, the peace and tranquillity of the location is truly something special. It was the perfect escape from everyday life, with nothing but birdsong, open countryside and a real sense of calm.The house itself is absolutely beautiful and has been lovingly cared for. Every little detail has been thoughtfully considered, making it feel both luxurious and wonderfully homely. It is exceptionally well equipped – whether it's books, DVDs, CDs, kitchen equipment, or plenty of towels, everything you could possibly need is there.We especially loved making the most of the fantastic BBQ facilities, which were perfect for a long summer evening spent together as a family. We had also requested an extra fan because of the warm weather, and it was kindly provided before we arrived – a thoughtful touch that was very much appreciated.What made our stay even more memorable was the warm hospitality of the owners. We were delighted to find a tray of delicious homemade flapjacks waiting for the whole family on arrival. It was such a thoughtful and generous gesture, and immediately made us feel so welcome.We are absolutely delighted that we chose Howards End for our family break. It exceeded our expectations in every way, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, comfortable and welcoming countryside retreat. We very much hope to return.
