Verified reviewexcellent

We had a lovely weekend away. We were 3 families who each stayed in our own cottage. The cottages are comfortable and well-equipped with everything you need including spare tooth brushes and plasters! Lots of activities including walks, fishing, boats, picnic areas among others. Our kids loved the freedom, different farm animals, collecting fresh eggs and swings. The hosts are friendly, helpful and really make you feel welcome. Will definitely be back!

I love this place. It is comfy enough to feel like home but with a few luxurious touches which make me feel special (electric blankets, good size TV etc) Hosts are super friendly and never make you feel you are bugging them with requests. One of my top happy places, I will be back :-)
