Beautiful cottage, clean and very well equipped with a lovely welcome basket full of goodies. Location is a little remote with no shop/pub within walking distance, but Wensley is only a 5 min drive away.

What a beautiful place to stay, whilst there may not be facilities such as a shop/pub, this did not detract from how beautiful the accommodation is, location was perfect for what we wanted to do. I would highly recommend booking.

This was a fantastic cottage with all the mod cons and incredibly clean, lovely beds and towels and biscuits and milk left for us also.We did think there would be a back garden with grass as we had taken our little dog with us but there was'nt. My husband did find a very large field with right of way about 2 mins walk away so little dog loved it so not so much of a problem.

What a beautiful place! The property is absolutely immaculate and in a very quiet, peaceful spot. All the neighbours we spoke to were really friendly. There was a little park down the road which was great for our little girl. We also arrived to a little hamper too which was greatly appreciated by our 2 children after the journey. Honestly couldn't fault the place at all! We would 100% recommend this place and would love to return in the future. Thank you.
