    it is the best cottage we have ever stayed in, had everything we needed. It was comfortable and clean. The location was perfect for us, so easy to go for a walk on the Camel trail with the dogs straight from the cottage. Not busy and a lovely walk before setting off for the day. Kate is also the most helpful owner I have communicated with for any question I had. Thank you

  • Rachael

    The usual kitchen necessities you need to bring with you on a self catering holiday was all there, Kate has literally thought of everything. The meadow in front was well kept and so picturesque with the woods as a back drop and the sound of the babbling river, perfect for outdoor playing space and dog walking. A peaceful tranquil setting. The Camel Trail on your doorstep was a plus, everything else was a drive depending on what you wanted from between 10 mins to half hour. We would most definitely visit again.

  • Stephen

    Whilst appearing off the beaten track it was actually really well located to go off in all different directions. The whole surroundings were blissfully peaceful and the accommodation was of high quality. Kate ensured that all went smoothly, both before and during the stay. Really hard to find fault anywhere. We are likely to stay again in the future.
