A totally peaceful , hidden gem tucked away in nature. Cottage is right next to the lake and loads of birdlife.Cottage has lovely features from 4 poster bed to all mod. cons. Great for dogs with safely enclosed back garden and fenced farm ideal for walks.My favourite was around the lake, down through the ancient woods, crossing the sturdy wooden bridges.Loved rowing on the lake and wild swimming.I plan to rent both cottages and bring my family next time as back gardens adjoin with gate.Bought extra Clearbrook honey made here, delicious and a pleasant holiday momento of a special place.

Everything was just perfect from the lovely friendly warm greeting and thoughtful gifts of a bottle of cold Prosecco in the fridge plus the owners own estate honey and welsh cakes waiting for us on arrival to the super-comfy four-poster bed, ensuring the best nights sleep away from home we can ever remember. Beautifully and thoughtfully furnished and decorated cottage to a very high standard with everything in pristine condition plus fresh flower decorations and scented reed diffusers strategically placed which filled the air with wonderful smells on arrival. Such a beautiful well kept estate and grounds inside a secure entrance, and just metres from a large tranquil lake with only the sounds of birds breaking the silence allowed us to instantly relax into our new surroundings. Nothing was too much trouble which helped to ensure we enjoyed one of the most memorable weeks away ever. Every possible need was catered for down to the logs for the wood burner which allowed us to enjoy cosy evenings together plus even brand new wellies to ensure we could roam the grounds in all weather conditions. A complete and comprehensive welcome pack together with local information and every possible service contact number you could think of plus a wide range of leaflets providing information on local sites and places to visit together with magazines and books to interest everyone were thoughtfully laid out strategically to greet us in the dining room, and gave us total confidence that the owners knew exactly what matters to everyone on vacation or looking for a home from home. All possible needs were catered for with two fridge freezers (one became our not so mini bar!) a washing machine and heated clothes airer, and a well equipped kitchen. The private garden area with al-fresco dining area and barbecue unfortunately couldn't be put to the test as the weather was not the best but it didn't stop us having a truly wonderful week away and visiting relatives in the area. We are all very much looking forward to returning as soon as we can, and know that anyone else enjoying a break here will also be eager to return too; we just hope (very selfishly) it doesn't prove so popular that availability becomes difficult to impossible as we suspect may well be the case. Thank you so very very much Jemma and Sarn, and please say hello to Jet and Maple for us :-)

The cottage was addictively comfortable. The hosts could not be possible more assistive. The area is extraordinary. Whatever direction we picked for exploration, there was something interesting to visit and see, not to mention the National Botanic Garden just 5 minutes away. Staying in the farm was also nice, swimming, rowing a boat or paddling the stand-up board on a private lake just to mention few activities. Thank you so much!
