A really clean, comfortable and relaxing cottage for a break with so many lovely added touches such as the welcome goodies and even bowl, towel and poo bags for the dog . A very peaceful and rural location where we saw hares and curlews. Very helpful welcoming host

Had a lovely week at Lapwing Cottage. It was ideal for a cosy winter getaway and recharging the batteries. The cottage was so comfortable, that we didn't always want to go out. Luckily the cottage is well equipped, spacious and had lots of thoughtful touches, so we could enjoy staying in.

What a wonderful place Lapwing Cottage is! Beautifully renovated, it's really modern and comfortable in a homely traditional setting. Very well presented. Everything is clean, looks almost brand new and everything just works. Location is wonderful, loads of walks with the dog, right from the doorstep. Every day we would go out for miles in every diRead morerection or take the car to visit places slightly further afield, there is heaps to do. After the day's long walk, popped under the cold water shower (great for the nervous system) and from there straight into hot tub. Delightful! October evenings can be chilly so we had the woodburner on too at night. The owners are very helpful and attentive and kind, we had the most splendid stay and would thoroughly recommend. When in doubt, book Lapwing. You won't look back. Hide

We were in need of restful break with some peace and quiet. This property ticked all the boxes and more. Just walking through the door our hearts lifted seeing how beautifully and tastefully the property had been restored. A very thoughtful welcome basket with local produce too. The views were amazing especially from the lounge and hot tub. ComfortRead moreable beds and a impressive bathroom walk in shower and free standing bath. Plenty of walks and warm welcoming pubs nearby. I would highly recommend booking the property you wont be disappointed. Hide

we, a family of four, stayed at Lapwing cottage and had a thoroughly enjoyable stay. The cottage is perfectly secluded, but not too off the beaten path that everywhere is a long drive away. The cottage is beautifully laid out with all the comforts (and plus some) you would expect. Ample parking, for a family. Bedrooms are very comfortable, and the Read moretub in the bathroom is amazing. Would highly recommend, and we look forward to returning soon. Hosts are very responsive and accommodating. Hide
