Wander into the surrounding woodland via a pathway through the woods which runs parallel with the stream and is clearly visible once you have crossed the small bridge from the garden.

The setting of Bull Hollow was idyllic, so peaceful & surrounded by trees. The house is full of character but quite shabby inside & not up to the usual Rural Retreats standard to which we have become accustomed over the last 10 years.

We spent a relaxing and enjoyable week in this fairy tale cottage set in beautiful gardens and woodland. The accommodation was comfortable and welcoming, just a perfect retreat from our city life.

Absolutely stunning, peaceful and private. The garden is lovely. One gripe, various kitchen utensils had bits of food stuck to them as did the bottom of the dishwasher. A minor niggle in a beautiful place
