We all enjoyed our stay.
Lorraine and Mick are very welcoming hosts (Thank you for leaving us bread, milk, butter, eggs and cup cakes for our arrival).
The children loved feeding the animals.

Lovely cottage
We enjoyed it very much. Because of the large garden it was possible to play football and badminton. I like to mention also that the railway station is not far away from the cottage. Therefore we could reach London easily.

Beautiful and tranquil but fun
We were taking my 82 year old mother away for her birthday . She is fit and healthy but everything about the place made the stay more special . The gifts left were so wonderful - bread , milk, home made cakes and fresh eggs . My highlight was Bam Bam the sheep.

Perfect
Myself and my dog Willow stayed in Willow cottage for 3 nights. From booking to arriving at the cottage it was perfect! Willow cottage is beautiful and had everything we needed for our short break. When we arrived our host had provided bread, milk, bacon and eggs from their chickens. The location was beautiful and so peaceful it was just what we needed. I highly recommend staying here. It was so lovely to be invited to help feed the alpacas and the other animals as well. The cottage is decorated and finished to a very high standard. It was just lovely.
