We had the perfect weeks holiday in beautiful surroundings in Stirton Burrow Cottage. We were made to feel most welcome from the moment we arrived. The cottage is perfect in every way - cosy, clean & very homely. We loved sitting in the peaceful mezzanine area in the evening. During the day there is lots to do locally, if you can drag yourself away from the hot tub and the peace and quiet. A huge thank you to Geri & Family for a perfect holiday location
