    It's feeling like our second home, we return here year after year. It was our 4th stay! The location is just fantastic and very peaceful, The property is always clean and is very spacious...exactly as it looks in the photos, Which suits us and our dog! We will be back next year for our 2 holidays!! We look forward to seeing Dawn the host as much as we look forward to our stay!

    There was 4 adults,1 child and 1 dog, the accommodation was big and spacious with 2 large comfortable beds and a peaceful, enclosed private garden, with access to the tennis court which the host happily supplied the rackets and tennis ball. Dawn and Tony were very friendly and accommodating, nothing was to much trouble, Dawn even cleaned, changed our bed sheets and changed our towels half way through our stay All in all it was a fabulous holiday and hopefully we will be able to come back next year. I would definitely recommend the cottage.
