Excellent facilities, fabulous decor, great space. Enjoy a relaxing break to visit local area. Thankyou. ##### rob Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margaret Jul 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Characterful and comfortable. Overall everything was good, our only issue was after being there for a few days we noticed the toaster was full of crumbs, obviously not been emptied for quite some time, and the oven tray had not been cleaned after it had been used. We hadn’t met the owner, so decided it was easier just to clean them both before using them. On the hole, everything else was excellent. There was no recycling facilities, which was quite a surprise, and also a slight disappointment. Everything else was above standard, and extremely comfortable. ##### Margaret Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simon john Feb 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### awesome find it was just what the doctor ordered, superb host - superb property and we will be back ##### Simon john Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Jun 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely cottage, great hosts. Fabulous Upon arrival the host (s) were there to welcome us with a drink and to join in with their street party - it was the Queens Jubilee weekend! The cottage itself was perfect and immaculate. The bed was also extremely comfortable, it was the best nights’ sleep we have both had in ages. Off street parking on the drive was useful and plenty of space to move around in the cottage. It was a fantastic stay overall, and would definitely return again if we were up that “neck of the woods” Thanks again for your great hospitality Kate and Baines. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3BE5A7F0F6E934962A23F1E3281DE2D09185A8BB1654509165751.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### John Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew Oct 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Andrew Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeremy Sep 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service ##### Jeremy Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gary May 26, 2024 ##### Gary Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robyn Oct 1, 2023 ##### Robyn Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colin May 30, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Colin Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Greg May 23, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Greg Stayed 1 night in May 2022
