Had a lovely time here with our dog. Cottage is compact but has everything you’d need for a week away and was clean and tidy for our arrival. Really enjoyed our stay and the Prosecco was a nice touch Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Gorgeous cottage, had a lovely stay. Really cosy and comfortable! Lovely bottle of bubbly on arrival which was a nice surprise! Very quiet and quaint. Although there was a power cut one night which was a bit scary but was fine after ten mins! Would 100% recommend. Thank you for a lovely stay! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

I thought the cottage and location was lovely, and the cottage itself was very nicely laid out and very clean. We had some lovely walks with the dog, and the shops and pubs were within walking distance. However there was no getting away from the musty smell which I believe was the settee and chair, which to be fair the settee was very small and not very comfortable to lounge about in for two people. Would have been nice to have a bit more garden segregated off at the rear. And it is useful to have a viewing mirror so you can safely pull out of the drive. Apart from that we had a lovely time and would consider coming back  Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
