The owner was quick to arrange for a plumber to mend a toilet flush mechanism and provide extra towels when required and the cottage was well suited to our multigenerational family holiday needs.

We had a lovely stay here. The cottage had everything we needed for six adults and two children, with plenty of space for everyone. The garden was lovely and we particularly enjoyed the outdoor dining area. The children loved going to see the horses in the nearby field each day, as well as the sheep. A really enjoyable place to stay!

Fantastic place to stay. Peaceful with beautiful surroundings. Comfy beds with lovely powerful showers and all you needed in the kitchen. Taxi ride to Stratford which is beautiful with lots to do and very picturesque. Fantastic pub, The Bell, short drive away which probably was the best roast dinner weve ever gone out for.
