This is a fabulous very spacious cottage in very peaceful surroundings. We were all so impressed when Andrew, manager, told us he built the cottage. The building and interior design have been well thought out and are to a very high standard with lots of lovely little touches including some of the stone work exposed inside as a feature.The cottage iRead mores just the most perfect place to relax, so much natural light in the main living area. The kitchen had everything we needed and a lovely welcome pack. We all slept so well in the very comfortable beds and enjoyed the complimentary toiletries which had a fabulous scent. My grandson said this was by far the best cottage we have stayed at. I would highly recommend this cottage. Hide

Without a doubt the best cottage weve ever stayed inand weve stayed in many. We were genuinely blown away by the space, privacy, and high-quality finish throughout, all set in an incredibly peaceful location. The river walks were perfect for the dogs, and its clearly an excellent spot for fishing as well. We would absolutely love to return.

The pictures on the website don't do the cottage justice. It's even better than this in real life. I'm sure everyone who visits says that they could move in permanently, so it's no surprise, that we felt we could do just that. No matter the weather this retreat is just the ideal spot. We would however, perhaps worry about the camber of the apprRead moreoach roads if it was icy or snowy. We had a thoroughly relaxing countryside break. Thank you. Hide
