Lovely cottage with a great area for dog to play, park was very nice. Swimming pool was a great feature and was used a lot over the visit. Out of the way, which was great, but also a pub a couple of minutes walk

Lovely little secluded farm based house. It was clean, tidy and had a homely feel. Nice sized pool and kids play area. We felt well accommodated and well looked after by the owner, it is only a short drive (with small kids) or you could walk to town. Very peaceful, with a pub just round the corner.

We had a nice time and the owners were friendly and accommodating. However we found that our particular cottage lacked a number of features that the other cottages had which isn't reflected in the price that we paid especially when compared to the cottage next door. The bed collapsed on the first night which wasn't a great start. Would be nice if tRead morehe swimming pool was open for the Easter Holidays. Quite a lot of steep steps in the cottage we stayed in so beware if you have elderly staying. Hide

Nice cottage, close to amenities. Main draw was pool for when our sons were bored, but complaints about noise in the pool by holiday makers with young children put a dampener on the holiday. Poor Wi-Fi meant we had some bored sons as we struggled to get our amazon firestick tv to stream in evenings (provided cable TVs freeview wasnt interesting) anRead mored area has poor mobile reception for devices.
