"Had a wonderful family holiday staying at Winters cottage."
It has everything we needed to help make us feel comfortable. Already planning on booking again next year. Thank yoj

"Winter cottage is a lovely well equipped, maintained and very comfortable place to stay."
The neighbours were friendly and it is conveniently situated in the town and near lots of lovely walking country. However the outside space was very disappointing and having to walk the dog around the corner everytime she wanted to go out was a pain. The cottage is also situated on quite a busy junction which was noisy at times.

"Lovely old cottage in the heart of beautiful Clare."
Delightful views of the local church. Flooring is uneven, especially in the bedroom but to be expected in a property of this age. Car parking is usually available nearby the property. Local pubs, restaurants and walks just a short stroll away.
I'm glad you enjoyed your stay in Winter Cottage. Thank you for your lovely comments. Steven Property Owner

"Had an amazing stay Lovely touch of prosecco and chocolate Everything you need for cooking, a few games in a cupboard, some books, a hairdryer (brought my own in case as I wasn't sure what it had)."
Two lovely double rooms (I only used one but the bed was big and very comfortable). Local restaurant, shops, bakery, beautiful place. Lovely walks nearby and a book in the cottage which writes about the walks. Would love to come back, and will be recommending it.
Thank you for such positive feedback. Based on your comment, we have updated the description on the website so that the availability of 2 hairdryers is known to guests at time of booking. I'm glad you appreciated the Clare Walks book. We are working through those walks and have found the book to be a great way of exploring the area. We hope to welcome you back soon.
