This has been the best property we have stayed at. Everything you could need for a holiday, if it isn’t here you probably don’t need it. The attention to detail in the cottage is excellent from the welcome items,fixtures/fittings to the decoration and equipment in the kitchen and the games room,everything is there. Jane has put together a fantastic family destination. The cupcakes were excellent too. My family really enjoyed this property. Jane was easy to contact throughout our stay and information prior to arriving was superb and we were greeted by Jane on arrival. If I could give this property more stars I would. Thank you very much from us all. Would not hesitate to recommend this property. ##### Kevin G.

Inside and outside it's a gem. It's spacious, comfortable, beautifully presented and full of character, yet with all modern amenities. The garden wraps around the house which means there are sunny spots all day with a lovely outlook. And I couldn't forget the new hot tub with robes and towels provided. We spent hours in the games room too. We found the house a good location for exploring this part of the world but a haven to return to. And Jane was lovely! ##### Susan K.

The size of this cottage is absolutely wonderful, more than enough ample space for my growing family. Kitchen has all the facilities and lots of extras, we especially loved our fresh farm eggs delivered to us Saturday morning (best eggs my 12 year old has ever tasted). Myself, hubby & children loved the games rooms, we all spent so much time in there having fun. The hot tub is just perfect, our weather was not the greatest, although this did not matter. We do hope to return in the future. Thank you for a much needed family break with so many little extras, robes, towels, shampoo/conditioner, tea, coffee, sugar, foil, oil & a lovely bottle of wine \* chocs for children to name a few. Thank you I have been highly recommending this property to all our family & friends, our 1st cottage holiday & most definitely not our last , love the Martin family ##### Chantelle M.

Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa H. 22 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### September break We had a fantastic stay at the cottage. Everything was beautifully clean, well maintained and comfortable. There were so many lovely homely touches from our host and nothing was too much trouble. We loved it. ##### Lisa H.
