Inglenook Cottage is a perfect home from home. The owners have created a comfortable and stylish cottage with just the right mix of traditional and modern features. Furniture, appliances, crockery, cookware, linen and towels are all of a very good quality. The cottage has a bigger than expected garden, a bonus for families with children or dogs. The owners had left a generous welcome pack and were great at communicating with us when there was a problem with the key safe. We had a great stay here and would have no hesitation in recommending Inglenook to others.

This was a lovely comfy cottage, a home from home. It had almost everything you could want and more. It is a lovely location and setting and easy to get out and about. The facilities were spot on, comfy beds and great bathroom and en-suite. Gardens were great and enclosed for our dogs and 3 seating areas which were lovely to sit in. We would recommend this area and the cottage to others.
