We had a great weekend break at wibberley cottage.
We had a great weekend break at wibberley cottage. The cottage itself is just beautiful with everything you could possibly think of. The welcome we got from the owners was so lovely, the attention to detail was like a breath of fresh air ,they send you an itinerary of whats in the cottage so not to take it with you , but they have honestly thought of everything, the village itself has 2 pubs , both very friendly, the walks are brilliant and there is an Aldi 3 minute drive away..all in all we had a fabulous time and will definitely be returning. If I could give this cottage 20 out of 10 I would , well done to the owners ðŸ‘ðŸ‘
A beautiful village and wonderful location. The cottage is five star! The host Anne was so welcoming and her communications were faultless.. The cottage is in a great location for walks, good village pub, tea shop and a small village shop for your paper and bread!
The cottage itself was spotless..so well equipped …and had the benefit of a pretty little garden which had the sun on it all day….a real sun trap and perfect for 6 o’clock drinks!!
Warm and cosy cottage ..peaceful location…..plenty of parking …will be back,!,
