Immediately we all felt at home and comfortable. Plenty of activities to suit all members of family. Really well thought out facility for family gathering. Warm and old world charm carefully mixed with practical modern necessities. We all loved it.! (If anyone over 6 ft , bring a hard hat.)

Beds and bedding extremely cosy & comfortable, and the bedrooms were charming. The garden was spacious and as recommended, loved picking apples, raspberries and even fresh herbs for our cheese fondue one evening ! The pool table was a brilliant addition to the property, and we spent most evenings trying out our skills! The village pub was a mere 6 mts walk away, and we were warmly welcomed for a delicious Sunday Roast and a couple bottles of Red. We gathered in the cosy lounge for a Netflixâs movie night, sank into the very comfy chairs, then found a pack of cards, playing late into the night, beautiful room to chill out in. Truly a lovely, lovely cottage and gardens to spend time, reconnecting with old friends. Thank you Caroline for accommodating, we wanted for nothing, and had a fabulous time!

The property is one of the best I've stayed at, extremely well laid out and well equipped. Lovely hot showers, comfortable beds and a lovely garden. We did have an issue on our first day but this was dealt with swiftly by the owners. Would highly recommend!
