From the moment we entered the cottage we felt totally at home.
From the moment we entered the cottage we felt totally at home.The attention to detail and luxurious feel of the whole cottage was second to none. A lovely welcome basket, treats for the dogs and beautifully decorated for Christmas was the icing on the cake.Fully equipped kitchen for any level of cooking you may or may not choose to do and spacious dining area with park and stream view through the patio doors.Lovely large lounge with very comfortable chair and sofa with views through more patio doors up the private spacious garden. Putting the log burner on just added to the magical coziness. The beds are huge and comfortable, cozy carpets plenty of storage and hanging space and excellent bathroom facilities. The cottage is right in the middle of the village, handy for the pubs, takeaways and lovely independent shops - especially the chocolate shop! Thankfully there are many walks to take from your front door to burn off the calories , or just stroll about admiring the chocolate box cottages and properties in the village.Dalby Forest is just up the road and perfect for walks and off road mountain biking if you feel more energetic.One of the best Christmases we've ever had in a wonderful luxurious cottage .HIGHLY RECOMMEND, you'll love it.
