Me and my partner came here as a last minute get away and what an amazing, beautiful Cottage this is. It's truly stunning and set in such a peaceful and tranquil area out in the country side.The hosts were so very helpful with offering advice about places to visit and to eat (We had an amazing roast dinner at the Rose & Crown Pub, which is only about 15 minutes away). And a lovely afternoon mooch round Saffron Waldron too.Everything in the cottage is done to such a high standard and the bed is the comfiest one we have ever slept in. There are some really lovely extra touches added, with some milk, butter, bread and yummy cakes left for us.We can't recommend this cottage enough and will definitely come back again at some point.Thank you so very much Keith & Carrie-Anne. xxx

Lovely 2 night stay. Perfect for a quite relaxing break with great little villages near bye. The cottage had everything you require to make the stay perfect. Nice little touches like bread and butter, milk on arrival. The whole place just invites you to relax. Definitely be using this place again.
