The Bolt Hole was the perfect location for our visit. The house was comfortable and well equipped. The back garden backed onto an open space and was bordered by mature trees. The beds were comfortable. We were also provided a very generous welcome pack which was a very kind thought. There were also toiletries and plenty of tea coffee and little milk sachets. We totally enjoyed our visit.

The cottage is a very homely and has everything one needs for a great holiday. The property is very well maintained and has the bonus of a private rear garden with furniture and BBQ. The two ensuite bedrooms are perfect for two couples or a family. We will certainly be back.
