Very hard to find anything negative to say, Lovely cottage comfort, decor and facilities wise. Warm and cosy, great woodburner too. And the host, Simon, was very welcoming, helpful and friendly. Ideal spot for us to be able to visit family and also have our own space for chilling. And our dog loved it too, being able to walk through the fields. If Simon will have us back it will be our 'family visits base' from now on.

A lovely cottage in a quiet location. The staff were welcoming, helpful and friendly. It was lovely, especially the log burner. It was very peaceful. There were quite a few spiders and cobwebs about. The bed was too hard and uncomfortable.
