Beautiful cozy cottage. Georgie is a fantastic host. She thinks of the little things to make your stay very relaxing, providing everything you need. Communication before our stay was super easy and Georgie accommodated our requests. Would highly recommend

Idyllic Escape to the Country

We spent a week of July at this property and were blown away by the beauty of the location. The cottage is very pretty with the kitchen and living room upstairs to take advantage of the views. Georgie, our host was excellent, replying to messages in super quick time, introducing herself to us in person but never intruding. We can’t recommend this property highly enough and have already booked our next stay.

Lovely quiet location. Pretty cottage. On one side you look out across trees and farm fields, the other backs onto the owners spacious garden.There is a small semi private patio/grassed area to the front of the cottage. Welcoming, clean, light, and comfy accommodation.Short walk to a very nice pub.Georgie popped over to welcome us which was lovely to say hello.Easy to unwind in such surroundings. We enjoyed our relaxing stay very much. Thank you.

Better than described in every way

This was the last leg of a long European vacation. We wanted to unwind and use the time as the proverbial vacation after vacation. It could not have been better! The location is sublime, the house gorgeous and the owners friendly and welcoming. Thankyou so much for the use of your incredible space and facilities.

A little underwhelming for the price

Great location… Wasn’t as clean in places as could have been… Main thing was owners were away for the 4 days and internet only worked for a few minutes here and there…no way to resolve and nothing offered some form of compensation as I missed some work commitments …reliable fast WiFi is not a luxury like 20 years ago it should be standard …honesty in listing…I’d rather someone say “we are in the countryside and might be….” Rather than promising super fast or other…maybe sites need to list upload and download speeds which are easily attainable…as said nice location but not if you are wanting to stream or work or rely heavily on a decent wifi…

A lovely cottage, nicely decorated and very well equipped. Surrounded by countryside so peaceful. Georgie was very easy to communicate with. The weather was terrible, but that didn’t matter as we were all cosy inside. Thanks for a relaxing stay.
