"Lovely little barn cottage in a rural peaceful setting."

Contained everything we could want for our stay and was tastefully furnished. Host popped in to show us how TV worked and to set the heating. They had also left a welcome pack of items. Little garden was ideal for our dog to have early morning and late night wee, but there is a large field for a decent run with him. Only one small criticism, the main bedroom has a glass door to the outside with no key. There is no window to let in fresh air and the room smelled a little musty. The smell diminished once we had heated the room. It would not deter us from returning and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, Thank you to our hosts.

"Really lovely stay in this beautiful cottage which has all the facilities you would need and the owner was very welcoming and pleasant."

I would say my only few pieces of feedback would be more accuracy on locating the property as sat nav isn’t overly reliable, the track down to the property could do with some trimming back of overgrown hedges and some damp in the main bedroom might need to take a look at.

The cottage was lovely, everything was provided that was needed for a comfortable stay plus some very thoughtful extras. The dog friendly field that we were allowed to use was perfect for our two dogs and there was the bonus of fabulous views
