On a late night whim we booked the cottage. It was truly a magical experience. Very grateful that we could book with just a few hours notice online.
Instructions sent were great, and the cottage exactly what we hoped for - quiet, secluded, lots of privacy, and bird life (thank you for the bird seed, that was pretty much the ultimate!!).
The entire place is just amazing!
Love the owl touches and everything about the cottage! Incredibly romantic.

Pros: spa bath, heating worked beautifully, great location.
Cons: lack of communication from property owner. We asked for an earlier check in (3pm). The shower wasn’t great, the water went all over the bathroom floor and was a slipping hazard. Would probably stay elsewhere next time.

Haven’t stayed here for quite a few years, but absolutely love it here!
It’s quiet, private and just beautiful to get away from it all.
Breakfast provisions were wonderful and the kitchen is well supplied.
Thank you for having us! Will be coming back.

The cottage was a perfect getaway for the weekend. We booked it for my wife's birthday and couldn't have been more happier to book such an awesome place. The ambience, the furniture and fittings and my wife loved the spa. We will defintely be coming back for more. All the great restaurants are littearly with 10 mins drive. Waking up within the clouds was just the icing on the proverbial cake.

My wife and i stayed here for a quick anniversary getaway, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality and convenience of the stay, everything you could wish to be supplied is, and then then some, we found the cottage extremely clean and functional, nothing modern but that was the whole reason we chose the cottage, if you want modern convenience and blandness choose a hotel if you want quaint and secluded with all the things you may reasonably need, hire one of these.
