Sep 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a really nice short break at Tennis Court Cottage. Before we arrived, the communication was excellent and the property exceeded expectations on every dimension. The property is brilliant and with age ranges from 11 to 68 everyone found something to do, the tennis court was a great hit. The nearby village is lovely. We have been travelling around the country this Summer with family from Australia staying with us and without exception, everyone mentioned this property first when I asked them about highlights of our holiday. What more can I say ... the host and the property are just lovely ! ##### Guy H. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jackie R.
