Two very minor recommendations - firstly the washing machine would be better incorporating a tumble drier (particularly for autumn through to spring period), and secondly, addition of a simple BBQ facility in the garden (there was one in your cottage garden on the Isle of Wight last year) which in glorious weather would be welcome for people who like to cook in the residence . . . .

Canât fault them. Parts of the cottage could be modernised and freshened up to make it more appealing to book again.

View from the courtyard garden very pretty. It felt like home away from home with lots of home comforts, literally didn't need anything it was all there. Thankyou so much Emma for the cot and highchair as this made the stay more comfortable for baby too. The festival on during our stay was a pleasure to attend, right on the doorstep. Had a couple of cosy evenings spent in front of the log burner, would of preferred not too in July however it was nice to have the option with the weather not being the best. Comfortable beds and a large family bathroom. It may be an idea to get a hook on the hall door at the bottom of the stairs, would help when carry babies downstairs
