Great property, clean, warm, and cosy! Couldn’t fault the property! Easy to get to and access the property via the gate and key safe. Would highly recommend. Great if you are attending a wedding at Coton house aswell.

The cottage and the owners are lovely. It's a good location, easily accessible from a good road (rather than a single track lane). Whittington village has a Co-op and pubs and you can walk easily from the cottage along the canal. The rooms are a good size and felt spacious with 4 adults and a dog. It is well equipped with both bedrooms having en-suites, comfy large beds and space for suitcases etc. The lounge/kitchen/diner has comfortable seating, log burner, all the kitchen items you might need including a coffee pod machine with pods. It is all very clean. Good location for exploring Lichfield and surrounding area such as the National Memorial Arboretum and Lichfield which is nice with the cathedral and some independent shops. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

First class accommodation, spotless and every comfort thought of by the lovely owners. Located by the canal, there are lovely walks from the door and good location for exploring further afield. Would not hesitate to recommend this property.
