Comfort is a recurring theme, with guests finding the beds particularly comfortable and the cottage warm and cosy. The presence of a log fire and the overall homeliness contribute to a comfortable stay.

The cottage is clean, the rooms are spacious and uncluttered, the ambiance is pleasant and homely. The kitchen has a comfortable amount of workspace and plenty of cupboard room. Although the cottage is next to the owners' home, the windows all face away over the fields/down the drive, and the cottage garden is on the side away from the owners' windows and door, so one has a feeling of privacy and quiet. The garden has a table, chairs and a parasol for sitting out in fine weather. The views from the bedrooms, by the way, are delightful. Just one thing to be aware of is that the stairs are steep. It won't be a problem for most adults, and I think that the owners provide a safety gate for toddlers, but something to consider if someone is elderly or frail?

The location is quiet and peaceful even though its on a working farm. Very well quipped and spotlessly clean. Everything provided for. The hosts are lovely and friendly and welcoming and nice to know theyâre on hand if there were any problems. We had a lovely stay and will definitely be booking for next year.

Double room only had a 3/4 bed, small and not very comfortable. A few light bulbs already blown and no replacements could be found. Apart from that we had a lovely stay. Thank you
