Really great first stay, we'd never booked a place like this before and it was simple from start to finish. The check in instructions came by text the day before and everything worked.
Read moreI'm afraid our stay did not match the description we were given. The cottage was clean enough, but the garden was much smaller than the photographs suggested, and the promised view was largely hidden by a hedge. When I raised it with the team they were polite, though it took a few days to hear back. We did not feel it was worth the price we paid.
Read moreCompared with the hotel chain we used to book every autumn, this felt like a proper break rather than a stopover. We've been coming back for about six years now and I'd say the cottages have only got better. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen has everything you need and someone actually checks the heating works before you arrive. Booking the same cottage again took about two minutes on their…

We stayed at the cottage over a week in the autumn and were on the whole very pleased with it. The bedrooms were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook a proper meal. Our only complaint was that the key safe code was not sent until the day we arrived, which left us waiting outside for a while. The area itself is quiet and very lovely for walks.
Got to say this has been our go to for holidays for a good few years now. The cottages are well kept and the team always answers when we need something. The only niggle this time was the wifi, which was patchy in the bedrooms. Otherwise we'll keep coming back.
We needed somewhere big enough for nine of us over a long weekend, so a proper cottage with enough bedrooms was the whole point. The listing was clear about the layout and the beds, and the place matched it. The only thing was the parking, which is tight in the lane, so we ended up shuffling cars around more than I'd like. Otherwise really easy to deal with from start to finish.
