Lovely cottage, perfect for our family break for a few days. Hot tub was great, bedrooms were perfect and the kitchen was really well equipped! Was so nice to light a log fire in the chilly evenings too. The owners were super nice, even made us a delicious home made cake for our arrival which our sons promptly polished off! Feeding the farm animalsRead more was great fun and there is loads of space for kids and animals alike in the nearby fields. The games room was just perfect for kids young and old. Would definitely recommend. Hide

This is such a fantastic place to stay. So much for all ages and loved having all our dogs with us with a huge enclosed field to run around in. Particular hits for our mixed age group, were the extensive games room, hot tub and all weather bar b q hut.

Absolutely gorgeous homely cottage. Fantastic hot tub, really clean and plenty of space especially as we had 4 dogs with us and it still didnt feel cramped at all.

Very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Only minor gripes about the lopsided mattress in main bedroom. Not so much of an issue for a single occupant but with two people might be a problem. Hot tub was fabulous. Very big, and kept meticulously clean and maintained. TV reception patchy, but being in the middle of nowhere it's not surprising. The fRead moreacilities on site are great. Lovely children's play area and separate field for the dogs, and animal feeding for those who want to do it. !SELECTED!Response from holidaycottages.co.uk!ENDOFSELECTED!: Thank you for your review.

Absolutely fantastic hidden gem, that we just keep coming back to. Accommodation and location are exceptional. Feeding the animals on a morning is the kids favourite thing, closely followed by the games room. Enclosed dog field is ideal for our Labrador. Owners are amazing. Cant recommend this place enough.
