Stayed at May Cottage for a week whilst visiting family nearby. Beautifully furnished with good quality furniture, beds and linen. Nice walks for our dog and great pub close by. We had a few minor issues but Host and Stay were quick to respond and rectify.

Well designed and laid out. Comfy furnishings and a well stocked kitchen with plenty of cooking essentials. Dogs allowed and not loads of restrictions making it feel more like home away from home.<br/><br/>Nothing.
