Reviews of Bibra
"This self catering cottage felt like a home away from home - a very welcome surprise as some self catering cottages are very sparse and not as homely but Bibra was absolutely lovely and very well priced. Countryside location was as expected."

"The cottage was spotlessly clean and is compact enought for 2 people. The kitchen has everything you need and the bed is comfy. The only issue I had was the power from the shower is really low to the point of an almost dribble and it was really cold in the cottage and took a long time to heat up. Other than those minor niggles it is a great little cottage and good spot for getting out and about"

"Setting was wonderful. Bibra was very well equipped, well laid out and clean and tidy. Fantastic mattress, felt well rested. The complementary wine was a lovely touch. It was literally a case of walk in, unpack, ready to roll. A great base for sightseeing. A proper home from home, thank you."
