Comfort is a recurring theme in the reviews, with guests finding the cottage cosy and comfortable, and appreciating the high-quality finish and cosy fire.

Very practical for walking and for our dog. Everything we needed was provided. The shower was fab and I can imagine that it would be very cosy in the winter with the fire. We liked the outdoor area and the little table for breakfast there. The cottage is in a good position for the village - we walked to family there and to the coffee shop. A great deal of thought has gone into making a welcoming space - practical but tasteful, and very comfortable. We are planning to visit again many times if they'll have us!

The cottage itself was perfect for what we needed, included all the little extras such as tea, coffee, sugar, milk and even an Easter egg for us and some treats for the dog! Kirsty was very accommodating and let us know we could arrive a little earlier if we wanted to which was very thoughtful, and even allowed us an extra 2hrs at check out time (this was very welcome after a busy weekend and losing an hour to the clocks going forward!) We would absolutely recommend this lovely little cottage to anyone! The only bit of negative feedback we could give is that there was no toilet brush in the bathroom (a very minor inconvenience), everything else was perfect!
