We had a 4 night stay with friends at this fabulous house. It was super clean, very comfortable and extremely well equipped. This was one of the nicest cottages we have stayed in and we hope to return again soon.

A wonderful cottage at a great price! You'll be hard pressed to find fault in this gorgeous property. It has everything you need and more. I'm not sure I've had a better shower in any other place I've stayed! The beds felt a little firm on first impression but were actually super comfortable to sleep in. All three bedrooms have everything you need with a main bathroom on the landing and an en-suite in one of the rooms. The kitchen and main living area are real stand outs for me. The log burner really heats the downstairs even with it being a big space and made the house feel very cosy for autumnal nights. The hosts provide enough wood and kindling to start a fire for one night. They also offer a great self service to buy additional wood if you are staying for longer. The bags are only £2.50, which is far cheaper than supermarkets these days too. We would love to visit again next Autumn.
