“Relaxing Retreat.”

Loved it, peaceful even by a main road, Beautiful gardens. Everything close. Owners live next door they let you have your own private space always say Hello when they see you. Would Return. Thank you for a beautiful rest.

Mr David Lawson Sep 2018

“A delightful cottage with charm and character but a modern touch.”

A lounge included sky lights and modern wood burning stove, is light and cosy. The bathroom includes a large corner bath with instant access to hot water. The cottage sits to the side of The Vicarage and owners allow access to an enormous well established garden which leads to a small stream. Absolutely delightful watching both rabbits and squirrels in the evening sunshine. Stayed July 2018

“The property was very clean and in a ideal location”

Mrs Sonya Offord Apr 2014

“Oh joy, miles from anywhere, bit of a shock, but was it worth it, yes, yes, yes the small but perfect cottage with a beautiful garden and grounds to walk about in was perfect.”

We saw deer,rabbits squirrels,cranes,in fact all the brochure said we saw, it was fantastic. The extras that the owners provided was a lovely extra,milk and a lovely bottle of wine, just the job for a nice cup of tea or a refreshing glass after a long drive.Would definitely recommend the cottage for anyone, but be prepared for a walk to town. Having said that it did make a refreshing change to walk and not rely on the car just for once,if your drinking. Met the owners on our last day, very pleasant and obliging.If your wanting a beautiful setting,quiet etc., then l would thoroughly recommend this cottage.
