"We had a wonderful weekend at this beautiful cottage in Madley."
There was a lovely welcome basket of goodies, fruit and, fresh flowers. The cottage itself was extremely clean, comfortable,brightly decorated, and had everything we would have wanted except a dishwasher. The host, most welcoming. The cottage is ideally situated for visiting Hereford and other interesting towns in the area. It is rural, so one has to expect to be a little bit off the beaten track with all that entails. Some small items that would have helped. Hooks on the back of the bedroom and bathroom doors. Large indoor mat to wipe wet feet and allow room to towel the dog. Finally, although this might be just a wish, I really needed to let my dog off the lead, but there was no safe area. If the garden could be enclosed by a proper fencing, we would return.

"We had a lovely weekend at this quiet, secluded getaway."
The owner was very helpful when he introduced himself and it was great to have the (mostly) enclosed garden available for our dog to use. There is lovely walks on the doorstep, nature all around and the food in the pub was amazing too. And all just a short drive in to Hereford to explore the wider area. The plumbing in the cottage is a bit funky, but everything worked and it didn’t impact our stay at all.

"Stayed here for a couple of nights for a family wedding nearby."
Cottage worked well, good location generally and for the family event, and had pretty much all that was needed. Having travelled some distance and with a 5pm check-in, we did bring food to self cater, though it would have been helpful to have some cooking basics such as salt and pepper, olive oil, butter for the bread provided etc. Goodies that were provided were appreciated. When the bath taps were turned on the tap in the kitcen also came on, so think this needs looking at. Thank you
-
"A clean and well maintained base for visiting the Herefordshire countryside."
Plenty of room for two people. The owner was friendly and there was a nice welcome pack of fresh fruit and goodies when we arrived. The plumbing however is a bit quirky. The kitchen tap has a permanent drip and the pipes knock when you turn on the hot tap. We had an enjoyable week. Thank you
-
"Perfect accommodation."
Everything you would want. Met by the host on the day, lovely welcome pack including the chocolate, fruit and nut. Two decent sized mugs for tea. Comfy sofa, good internet tv and wifi. Excellent bed, very comfortable with tasteful furnishings Even thought there wasn’t a secure garden for the dog we found 2 adjoining fields where the dog could safely run around. Thank you for a lovely stay, hopefully we will be back.
-
"Thank you once again Jonathan & team for a wonderful stay."
Everything was absolutely perfect & we loved all the little extra touches including the flowers & basket of goodies. We look forward to staying with you again next year. Our very best wishes, Brian & Linda

"Property owner attentive and provided a welcome package."
Clean bedding, towels & tea towels supplied, but lack of salt/pepper/oil/sugar for basic cooking. Some cobwebs, that had been there a while. Overall we had a lovely stay. Sorry we left some Mushrooms in the microwave that we were meant to have for breakfast!

"Granary 1 is perfect for all our requirements, pet friendly and ideal location, ..."
Granary 1 is perfect for all our requirements, pet friendly and ideal location, plus a large garden We have returned here 3 or 4 times and the owners are always accommodating , the Granary is clean and we are always left a lovely hamper and flowers to enjoy during our stay We would like to thank you and look forward to seeing you both again very soon
-
"This is a very comfortable cosy cottage."
It’s well equipped, very warm, has everything you need for a stay away from home. The garden for the dog although is enclosed I wouldn’t suggest letting a dog off the lead as it could get out through the bars of the fence. Unfortunately the pub in the village of Madley is now closed so it is a drive away to reach ‘a local’. Given that the weather was not fortuitous we didn’t go for many walks as everywhere was so water logged but given drier conditions it is an ideal area for lots of walks. Wales is so close to Hereford we were able to explore there frequently and even took a ride on the Brecon Mountains steam train

"Lovely place to stay with very friendly owners."
-
"Johnathon was a great host and dealt with the small problem of a faulty waste plug in the bath straight away."
The cottage was comfortable, warm and clean and had all we needed in the kitchen area. The welcome pack was excellent the best we have ever had - thank you so much.
-
"The property is approached down a long rutted farm track and sits in the middle of old farm buildings which provide a not very nice view."
We never met the owners and no instructions were left for us. There was an excellent welcome pack, and the flat was clean, though it sits below another one from where we could hear every footstep, conversation and everything else. Equipment was basic and the flat lacked homely touches. No mobile phone reception, intermittent tv though good wi fi.
-
"Lovely welcome from Jonathon."
. accommodation was excellent very clean and comfortable. Nice location and lovely enclosed garden for the dog Nice welcome pack too. Would definitely stay again Cheers Ged& Jean

"Just that the kitchen tap drips when you use the shower, but not a big deal at all"
-
"Lovely holiday very kind and helpful owner and nice comfortable clean accommodation."
-
"This accommodation is fab, including the hamper on arrival, the bowl of fresh fruit, fresh flowers, even the dog bowls and treats are a lovely touch."
Whilst we only stayed for 3 nights we would have been happy to stay for longer. If there's one thing we would say it was that the bedroom door scrapes on the floor, could do with shaving a bit of the bottom.
We're happy to hear you had a great stay! Thank you for informing us about the door, we will look into this issue and resolve it asap. - Kate & Jonathan Property Owner

"Lovely place to stay close enough for my family meet up."
Very clean and more spacious than I had thought. Good facilities to eat in The owners kindly left us some goodies (milk, bread, chocolate biscuits and some fruit) which was very welcomed by us. Bed was comfortable but I needed to use cushions as well as pillows which was just my personal preference as I have sinus problems. The shower was a telephone style and the water power not great but definitely useable and not a problem for us. The Granary is a clever use of space … everything you need for a comfortable few days away. We ate in the first night then as a family went to Ludlow and also the Kilpeck Inn (recommend this one). The Granary is a working farm so woken by cockerels but nothing bothered us and we loved our stay. A very pleasant and happy stay. Would definitely recommend and would come back when staying in Herefordshire. Thank you for a very comfortable stay at Granary 1

"Well appointed, well prepared, well situated and exceptional welcome."
Thoroughly enjoyable stay.
-
"Absolutely lovely property - I had everything that I needed - and a very generous welcome ' pack ' ."
I really enjoyed the location - lovely and peaceful - and convenient for visiting the surrounding area . There are also plenty of public footpaths close by - and all easy walking .
-
"Like everyone else who stays at the Granary, we found the owners very helpful and friendly."
The flat was clean and tidy and nicely laid out. As it was winter we were a tad worried before we went with regard to the heating but we found that like everything else in the flat it worked beautifully. The flat is very well insulated and holds the heat so we didn't need the heaters on all the time. The little enclosed grassy area was a godsend in the rain as it is literally right by your front door.
-
"We had a very comfortable week at Granary 1 and Jonathan & Kate were friendly and perfect hosts."
Unfortunately with a broken arm post op it was impossible to visit the local area but you can walk to the local shop and footpaths for lovely dog walks from the cottage. Tescos is 15 mins drive away with plenty of choice. Our dog was made very welcome and loved the garden too. Would definitely visit again if in the area. Excellent value for money.
-
"Kate and Jonathan are amazing hosts and they provide everything within their property to ensure an enjoyable stay."
Jonathan greeted us personally the moment we arrived following a long drive after a days work which was a welcoming and friendly start. Set away from the road, down a track, the property is gorgeous inside and out and is blissfully quiet. The garden and nearby meadows are great for four legged friends. A picnic basket of delicious goodies was greatly appreciated and enjoyed. Kate was brilliant in recommending places to visit based on our interests. The village centre is just a short walk along a wooded path where a shop offers all essentials. The take away is well worth a visit as is the Red Lion. A proper drinking pub with a lovely garden and super dog friendly as are Kate and Jonathan. There are lots of beautiful walking routes locally. Dobby enjoyed his stay as much as we did. A hidden gem!!
-
"The Granary was a lovely place to stay in Herefordshire."
Kate and Jonathan made us very welcome - the flowers and welcome basket. were an unexpected bonus on the first night. The building is extremely well insulated and super warm on a chilly night - we had to get up and turn down the heating during the night!. There are proper pint pots and wine glasses in the cupboards and it is so dark outside at night you can see a starlit sky we haven't seen for years. We will be back. Malk & Gill
-
"A lovely clean & spacious property - perfect for one or a couple ."
Great place for pooch too - with a large enclosed area for a good paw stretch. Owners were friendly and welcoming & kindly provided lots of tasty goodies on arrival .
-
"We had a wonderful time at The Granary 1."
Kate & Jonathan were pleasant and the building is beautifully done. Good parking facilities and a brilliant medium sized paddock next to the property for letting the dogs run loose. Plenty of dog walks around Hereford, particularly along the River Wye early in the morning and late evening were ideal as it was extremely hot during our stay. There are also plenty of towns within travelling distance by car from the property which made the stay more enhoyable, there are also a few good National Trust sites too. The welome hamper was great too, a fresh pint of milk in the fridge when we arrived, and the hamper included, a loaf, chocolate, biscuits and a large bag of crisps to share, along with a welcome note from Kate & Jonathan which also provided the Wi-Fi Code. The biggest plus, is Kate & Jonathan are very dog friendly and we have two very tired terriers after their stay. Thank you for providing a great place to stay, hope we come back some day.

"Cottage perfect all you could want a home from home."
It was the second time we have been there and will be going there again soon. The owner was close by and very helpful and friendly,
-
"Property was absolutely fantastic!"
Every small detail had been thought of. Fresh flowers, hamper on arrival, and fresh fruit! Never felt more welcome. The property owners were also brilliant. Helpful, friendly, and overall great people. Would gladly stay again!
-
"Very clean and comfortable."
The flat was well situated in a peaceful spot , close enough to Hay and Hereford and with good local walks. We had use of a fenced and spacious garden. Our dog was made most welcome by the owners, as were we.
-
"This was great for our dog, a lovely space for her to run around, and we had the fire pit outside."
The walks were all straight from the door and the local Tesco is 10 minutes away in Hereford. We ate at The Bell in the evening, a short drive, but excellent food. The house was clean and comfortable, with a friendly welcome and treats for us and the dog. The kitchen had what we needed and the water was very hot. For me the sofa could have been more comfortable, and the bathroom could have had a ladder rack / door peg to hang clothes. A very good place to stay, quiet and peaceful for a long weekend.
-
"Lovely peaceful cottage with a central location to Ross on Wye, Hay on Wye and the Breacon Beacons."
The provision of bread, milk, fruit etc was most welcome and a very pleasant surprise. The Granary is well designed and very comfortable with a lovely open plan layout. One thing that could be improved on is the shower which isn't very powerful. Also to provision of a dressing table and chair in the bedroom rather than a clothes basket would be very useful. The only disappointing aspect was not being able to check in till 5.00 p.m. which is quite late.
-
"Lovely place, very relaxing stay and so thoughtful to leave a welcome basket"

"Granary 1 & 2 were perfect for our holiday with my parents."
A stylish renovation providing comfortable and well-equipped accommodation. Lovely spacious garden, complete with furniture and fire pit. Kate and Jonathan (and animals!) made us feel so welcome, and we really appreciated the thoughtful welcome hamper. A peaceful location in a beautiful part of the world. Plenty of scenic and interesting places to visit on the doorstep and further afield. Highly recommended!

They provided info on places to visit etc. Lovely welcome basket, flowers, treats for the dogs. Beautiful clean accommodation, garden plus field to walk the dogs - we loved it. Lovely quiet location, within easy reach of Hereford and great walks in the Golden Valley. We also visited Symonds Yat, Goodrich Castle and Hay on Wye. Will definitely visit again.

"My friend and I booked both flats at the Granary."
It is a wonderful place to stay and the owners offer fabulous hospitality and friendliness. Very clean and comfortable, superb fixtures and fittings. Great welcome basket, very dog friendly garden. Very quiet location but very accessible and easy to get out and about. Hopefully will stay again soon.
-
"The accommodation was all we asked for and more, lovely location with great facilities especially for those with a dog."
Kate and Jonathan were perfect hosts, informative, friendly and helpful. The surrounding area is perfect for walks and Madley has a local shop and pub also on the door step. This place is great as a centre point for Hereford, Monmouth, Abergavenny and more all the places we visited and within a 30miles radius
-
"Super rural location for touring Herefordshire."
Hay on Wye a short distance away. Chase distilery just outside Hereford worth a visit plus Malvern hills & Ledbury also nearby. Accommodation is ideal for couples and has nice garden for pooches plus friendly owners!
-
"This is a lovely quite retreat, near to many places of interest to visit."
The Granary1 is a very warm cottage , we had to take our quilt off bed as too hot . Equipment is adequate 2 forks, 3 knives. Perhaps a few additions like a soft broom to sweep up when leaving, A light weight blanket or sheet for bed fellows who are too hot or too cold ! A foot stool or arm chair would make it perfect. The hosts are charming and friendly, and a lovely welcoming basket. The fresh roses were exceptional and lasted our whole week. The doggy field is excellent. Altogether a great cottage and one we would recommend.
-
"Lovely quiet and super location for our needs"
-
"The accommodation was spotless, cosy and comfy and the welcome basket such a lovely touch."
Location was great for getting around by car. Some lovely places to eat within 10 miles, such as The Bell Inn, and a good pint at The Red Lion. Nice little towns to visit were Ross on Wye and Hay on Wye which both had lovely river walks Only tiny suggested id make is a small armchair or footstool for the sofa for those rainy eves in front of the tv
-
"An absolute dream away from home."
We both needed this after lockdown and it more than met all our expectations. Johnathan and Kate are wonderful hosts who are friendly and very knowledgeable. They gave us some pointers on where to go which we took their advice and had a wonderful time. The little extras that they provide were a welcome surprise which we loved. The gated garden for the dogs was also lovely and our furry kids loved it. I would definitely recommend the Granary, truly beautiful.
-
"Lovely and well presented accommodation we were all (including the dog) made to feel very welcome and very well look after from the start."
The property was very clean and comfortable, Kate and Johnathon were very welcoming who's focus was ensuring you got as much out of the break as possible.
-
"Just returned from a lovely weekend at Granery 1,were meet by the lovely owners Kate and Johnathon who were so friendly and helpful and made us and our 2 dogs feel at home ."
The facilities are spotlessly clean and include everything you need and more for your stay with the bonus of a welcome basket full of goodies for us and the dogs ! The attached large lawned enclosure was a god send for the dogs and we enjoyed the open fire with all wood provided by johnathon. Will defiantly be returning as still lots to see in this beautiful area and wouldn't hesitate to book the granery again. Sorry we missed you to say goodbye.
-

"The Granary is a little gem."
It is spotlessly tidy and clean and perfect for a short or longer break. We have returned a number of times to Granary 1 and Granary 2. We have only stayed in the Autumn and Winter but I’m sure that it is even more splendid in the Spring and Summer. Kate and Jonathan are very attentive and so welcoming. We were overwhelmed by our arrival basket, filled with cheese, artisan bread, crisps and chocolate. There was also a fabulous bowl of fruit and a vase of beautiful roses. Our little dog loved his holiday and was also showered with doggy treats and kindness. The Granary is a great base for exploring north Herefordshire and south Shropshire, with Hereford, Hay on Wye and Ludlow a short drive away. The Welsh border is close too. Kate and Jonathan were very helpful recommending places to visit, including Lock’s Garage, again a short distance away, called, “The Fortnum and Masons of the Borders”, for its array of fruit, veg and meat, not to mention the ice cream. Local farm shops are “out of this world” and the kitchen is well stocked with pans and utensils if you want to cook. There are lots of lovely places to eat and pub in the village if you want to go out.
-
"We had a great relaxing week at Granary 1."
We were made very welcome with many extras left to welcome us and our 2dogs. Would not hesitate to recommend this property to friends and family.
-
"The owners of the property could not do enough for us, checking everything was ok and so helpful When we arrived there was a goodie basket filled with fresh sourdough bread, luxury biscuits, crisps, and chocolate!"
Plus a treats bag in a doggie bowl for the dog. A bowl full of fresh fruit and a large vase of roses! Such lovely extra touches. The Granary conversion is quite new and very modern with lots of open space, we were really impressed.
-
"The Granary has been restored and converted to a very high standard and is ideal for a central holiday."
-
"The accommodation was one of the most comfortable I have stayed in and very clean."
The added touch of a hamper is great even considering our dog which was lovely and added to our break away. The surrounding environment is everything we could of wished for with lots of walks close by. The owners are friendly and helpful and the whole holiday was fantastic and just what we needed.
-
"From walking through the door it was so welcoming from the flowers, basket of goodies and the warm welcome from Kate and Johnathan the hosts."
Surrounding areas very peaceful and lovely places to visit
-
"Delightful hosts, nothing too much trouble."
Pleasant surroundings and well appointed apartment.
-
"We could not have been made more welcome, both Kate and Jonathan went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible."
The accommodation was well resourced, immaculate and in a great location. We would not hesitate to recommend and will be returning again soon.
-
"The cottage is extremely clean and modern exactly as seen in the photos and in a wonderful quiet place."
-
"What a lovely cottage this is!"
Granary 1 is very peaceful, homely, comfortable, spotlessly clean with welcoming flowers and plants on the doorstep. Kate loves animals and our little dogs enjoyed the treats and the freedom of the adjoining field. It was lovely to step out there first thing in the morning and in the evening. We even saw a big owl sitting on our car on our first evening; priceless! Above all, thank you Kate and Jonathan for being such kind hosts, for all the lovely food, goodies and beautiful roses on arrival, the delicious homemade Bara brith and other yummy surprises. Herefordshire is a beautiful county. What struck us most was the numerous sweet scented wild flower meadows full of buzzing insects and butterflies. We did many long walks (Hay, the Sugar Loaf near Abergavenny, the White Castle, Bredwardine, Mordiford and Haugh Woods with a natural butterfly reserve), all in beautiful weather. We definitely recommend the Granary.
-
"Stunning cottage in a very peaceful setting."
The owners went above and beyond to make us feel so welcome

"This was our second visit to The Granary, in keeping with our first visit and subsequent comments we found it a lovely place to stay and very relaxing."
Kate & Johnathan ( the owners) provide a high standard and cannot do enough to make your stay enjoyable. we would not hesitate to book this accommodation again in the future and would highly recommend it.
-
"This was a beautiful cottage, well presented, with some lovely touches."
Arrived to find a basket of essentials, bowl of fruit and pretty flowers. The field next to the cottage is perfect for the dogs. Kate was extremely welcoming and gave us lots of information about the local area. The village is an easy 10 min walk with a lovely welcoming pub. I would highly recommend this accommodation and would not hesitate to return.
-
"Lovely area to visit."
Cottage in a good location. very clean warm and comfortable. excellent hosts Extremely dog friendly
-
"A wonderful quiet peaceful place."
The Granary was clean, warm and very comfortable with no expense spared with regards to facilities with everything there you would need. The owners are lovely people who are very welcoming and cannot do enough for you. We will be going back there for a break and would recommend it to everyone who wants a holiday in Hereford.
-
"This is my second visit to this property in a six month period - which says it all!"
The apartment is exceptional- extremely clean and very comfortable and relaxing. The bed has to be the best I have slept in. The hosts, Kate and Johnathan are so very welcoming and go that extra mile to make you feel comfortable. Beautiful flowers, a fruit bowl, and a goodies basket only add to the pampered atmosphere. Even my dog received some treats! Having decided that this has to be my regular bolt hole I will most definitely be back.
-
"The Granary was perfect the owners Kate and Jonathon are wonderful."
The cottage was exceptionally clean, the welcome basket of goodies upon arrival was a very unexpected surprise and was a real lovely touch. The dogs loved it and were able to roam around the secure area by the cottage. I took my mum away to celebrate her birthday and to visit family who she hadn't seen for years with the excellent accommodation and location she has declared it her best birthday ever. I would highly recommend the Ganary as it would be impossible to have a bad holiday there. Thank you Kate & Jonathon we will definitely be returning.
-
"Excellent hosts felt like they were old friends, Johnathan and I could talk for ..."
Excellent hosts felt like they were old friends, Johnathan and I could talk for hours, we had frosty mornings but the heating system was excellent, and the apartment was spotless, the position was favouble to visit sorounding villages and garden centres, although they allowed dogs it was not noticeable in the apartment,
-
"What a wonderful place to stay and Kate and Jonathan are wonderful hosts highly recommend this barn to stay x"
-
"Very kind and friendly hosts in Kate and Jonathan, excellent accommodation ideally located to visit the beautiful border towns of Wales and England and for the dogs a fantastic safe penned off countryside area for them to play and roam freely."
Would highly recommend the Granary especially for dog owners and would love to come back for more.
-
"The Granary was a lovely place to enjoy a relaxing and peaceful holiday in beautiful surroundings."
Everything you could possibly want was there including the most warm welcome and hospitality from the owners Kate and Jonathan who very kindly provided us with a generous basket of goodies upon our arrival and even a treat for Belle the dog! I would not hesitate in recommending The Granary to anyone wanting to visit the area. We will be returning at the next opportunity. Definitely not one to be missed. Julie and Belle
-
"Wow, what can I say about The Granaries?"
It was amazing. We arrived and were met by Kate, who welcomed us and our dog, showed us around, including a welcome basket of tea, coffee, milk, fresh ciabatta loaf, brie, cheese and sparkling water. A lovely surprise and enabled us to settle straight in without having to run to the shops. Kate and Jonathan were a joy , they checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed, had information and advice on where to go and what to see. They also have us some home grown produce, which was in season, and baked us a cake! They could not have made us feel more welcome. The conversion has been done beautifully and to a high standard, and was comfortable and clean. Locally, it's a quick walk into the village, which had a corner shop and a couple of pubs. The Red Lion was really friendly and we had a good dinner there one night. Basic pub grub, but done well. Overall, had a really relaxing break and would happily recommend and visit agsin. Thanks
-
"Absolutely Perfect."
The cottage is beautiful and exceeded all expectations. The hosts, Kate and Johnathon are wonderful people and go out of their way to make sure your stay is a happy and relaxing one. When I arrived at the cottage there was not only a welcome basket containing bread and a delicious Bara-Brith loaf but in addition the luxury of some Ferrer Rocher chocolates. On the coffee table were some beautiful roses together with a fruit basket, and some much-appreciated milk and brie cheese in the fridge. I felt truly pampered.My only problem was that I didn't want to leave at the end of my stay. Thank you Kate and Johnathon. I will most definately be back.
-
"Fantastic stay at Granary 1."
Would definitely recommend. The hosts Kate and Jonathan were very welcoming. We had waiting a basket of goodies, fresh flowers, fruit and Kate brought over some freshly made Bara-Brith (absolutely delicious!). One of the days we even got to try some Greengages from the garden and Jonathan even gave us some home grown vegetables which I made a lovely meal with. We went on some day trips to Hereford and Hay-on-Wye using the cottage as a base. There are a number of places to visit within a 30min drive and we found some great places to have lunch and walk. The cottage is a perfect location and very quiet but accessible. Just what we wanted for our stay. Its very modern and clean with a lot of outside space. The town is a short walk away, where there is a local shop, fish and chip shop and pub. We had our one year old with us and he had a lot of fun playing outside and seeing the sheep and the chickens. The cottage is child friendly and a cot was set up when we arrived. I wish we could have stayed a few more days! The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing break. The hosts were really kind and thoughtful and made the break even nicer for us. We will definitely go back to stay.
-
"Our second visit this is the place we would visit again and again we love the quiet position the comfort and Kate and Johnathon our fantastic host's already feel like good friends."
Once they have installed showers which I'm assured will be soon it will be perfect. You have the added bonus of Owl spotting we saw 2 this visit, can't wait to go back.
-
"This cottage was fantastic in every single way!"
The owners, Kate and Jonathan, had thoughtfully provided everything that was needed in the cottage including a most generous welcome pack of Artisan seeded bread, Brie, home made Bara Brith, milk, tea, fruit bowl, gorgeous roses and treats for the dogs. We felt immediately spoilt and this was a fabulous start to our holiday. The cottage is comfortable with every modern convenience. The garden is lovely with plenty of space for the dogs to explore and a large patio area. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom, along with the rest of the cottage was immaculate. We had a great holiday and would love to return to this wonderful cottage in the future. Julie & Patrick Deignan

"Comfortable let, owners very welcoming and obliging."
Beautiful countryside.
-
"You will not find a host or hostess who cares more about your needs and welfare than Mr."
And Mrs. Gilbert. Remember that this is a working farm, but for you a place of relaxation. A memorable experience.
-
"We loved this cottage and will definitely go there again."
The welcome we received was first class from the really friendly owners and the welcome hamper with all the essentials and treats for our dog was a lovely touch as was the bowl of eggs from the owners hens. We slept like logs and in fact I am going to contact the owner to find out what the mattress is as it was so comfortable. Fabulous location too - very tranquil with lots of varied walks from the doorstep if you don't want to get in the car while only a 15 minute drive to Hereford (traffic depending of course). We felt very comfortable and settled in the cottage and it felt like a home from home. Wonderful*****
-
"I have to give our whole holiday 5 stars but would rather keep quiet as this little gem will book up fast and I will have problems booking in the future."
