  • "We enjoyed our stay at How Hill; when we have stayed in similar places in the past, there has always been a guide book, recommending places to visit and where to eat out etc etc."

    with comments from previous guests. Also advice on how to operate systems - we were unable to discover how to use the oven, and the hosts didn’t know either but very kindly cooked our fish pie in their Aga. I am writing the difficulties; otherwise the place was lovely, clean, beautifully furnished and with very comfy beds.

  • "Beautiful cottage, luxurious fittings, beautiful gardens, amazing hosts."

    . only down side is we were two couples, and the downstairs bathroom which is supposed to be the ensuite for the downstairs bedroom is accessed via the living rooms and you have to lock two doors so the couple using the upstairs bedroom don’t disturb you, it was just a bit of a pain having to ask if anyone wanted to go upstairs before you went in the shower.. otherwise we couldn’t find any fault with the property it was peaceful, and absolutely beautiful.

  • "A beautiful well appointed cottage, connected to the owner’s property."

    The area is very quiet, with little traffic passing by, if you would like a peaceful break to recharge the batteries then this is it. Really enjoyed our stay even with the wet weather.

  • "Howe cottage was a lovely place to stay it was new so very smart and very clean situated in a very peaceful picturesque farm."

    The owners Arthur and Julie made us very welcome along with their five friendly dogs. There are a few things it lacked one being cupboard space but that wasn’t too much of an issue for us as there was only the two of us.

    The cottage itself is finished to an exceptional standard with all the amenities you could need, with a beautiful garden which has a BBQ area and seating for you to enjoy the surroundings. One of the highlights of our stay was the attentiveness of the owners, who were able to reccomend fantastic local sights and places to eat.
