If I could give this property more than 5 stars I definitely would. Holly Cottage is the best cottage I have ever stayed in. Beautiful decor, immaculately clean, fabulous showers, equipped with everything you could possibly want or need and the huge enclosed garden was perfect for my dog 🐶. Sitting watching the huge variety of birds visiting the garden was very relaxing. Jeanette and Ian were great hosts and I would highly recommend this cottage.
