"It was very peaceful and the log fire was fantastic. The level of cleanliness and little touches such as electric blankets, welcoming wine/snacks + dog treats were lovely. Our every need was anticipated with instructions about barbecues, towels for the river etc. We were very happy and satisfied with our holiday and felt it was super value for money."

"The Cottage was in a fantastic setting, right next to the river and in a peaceful setting in spectacular countryside. We were looking for a holiday " away from it all " and that is exactly what we received. We have stayed in cottages and lodges for the past 15 years and this is by far the best. Myself and my family all love this cottage and are already considering a week next year."

It had comfy beds and a well equipped, cosy lounge. There was plenty of wild life around the property including bats, it was a lovely peaceful location. Nothing to fault at all, we will return."
