The cottage was spotless, the views and walks on the doorstep perfect. Thank you so much Richard, Cathy and Grommet you made us feel very welcome, gave us some interesting places to visit which we very much enjoyed and we hope to return in the not so distant future.

Would 100% recommend a stay here and would not hesitate to go back. Being offered milk and biscuits on arrival was an extra bonus. Two great pubs within a few minutes walk was lovely so that you didnât have to cook, but had all the facilities in the house if you wanted to stay in.

Lovely, cosy space with all the amenities we needed. Great location with excellent views of countryside and short walk to a very nice village pub. Very helpful pre-arrival booklet and additional instructions in cottage made our whole experience stress-free and Richard couldn't have been more helpful in keeping us informed when there was a temporary local internet outage affecting the village which was soon sorted. Many thanks indeed for a most enjoyable stay. Highly recommended.
