The cottage is full of character and very well equipped. We were very warm and comfortable and had plenty of space. The hot tub and sauna were a welcome respite from the dreadful January weather.

Stayed here for a girls weekend, March 2023. Absolutely fell in love with the property as soon as we walked in. Very spacious, clean and well equipped.

Wonderfull old quirky cottage with plenty of character. A garden full of surprises. Well equipped, completely dog friendly and welcome hamper was a lovely treat. Hot tub was great addition for those tired bones after walks on the moor ( 10/15 mins drive away) would recommend for any dog lovers

This is a beautiful country property which is well set up! The attention to detail is fantastic, from the well equipped kitchen to the games cupboard/room. The only negative things I'd say is: there is a leakage problem in the property, we woke up one morning after heavy rain and the dining room was completely flooded. The beams in this property arRead moree very low and the floors are uneven so you have to walk around with caution. Finally, the wifi does not work and there is no/very minimal reception. Hide

Lovely quirky cottage with loads of room. Only downside are the low doorways which are typical of this type of old building but for me at 62 and my son at 64 we must have hit our head on every door frame. Nice secluded location but is at least an hours drive from most attractions. Hot tub and sauna are a nice touch. Owners also lovely & helpful.

Spacious thirteen century thatched cottage full of character. Lots of comfortable space to live in. Great hot tub and sauna at the very private end of the garden. Kids loved the garden and the games room. Beds and sofas are comfortable and the garden was very secure at the front of the property (where the busy road is) and reasonably secure (unlessRead more a child or dog is an escape artist) at the back which leads onto fields.

Although the cottage was full of character and had its quirks it definitely requires some TLC. Sofas were uncomfortable, could do with replacing. We'd advise you to bring your own towels. Unfortunately cleanliness wasn't of the highest standard, mainly the kitchen.

Hot tub was a great extra although chlorine was too strong so only managed to use a couple of times. Hide
