We had the most amazing holiday ever. The location was stunning. The grounds with acres of woodlands and a walled garden which could have been out of the Botanics made our holiday. The cottage was so homely and had lots of room for my elderly parents and myself and my 4 children. Loved the fact the bedrooms are reached by two separate stair cases either side of the property two bedrooms per stair case. The miniature Shetland ponies, hens, rope swing and streams kept the children entertained for hours. We all loved the hot tub in the court yard. Hugh and Margaret made our holiday they were so friendly and helpful and nothing was too much bother. Looking to book up for next year already. ##### Ann This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela Mar 6, 2019 #### A fabulous location for a family break.
