    A real gem of a place to simply get away and unwind!

    It's not that we disliked it, but it's worth mentioning....this place is remote...leave yourself an extra 5-10 mins to drive the last mile, take your time on the rural road, and you can trust Google Maps... we genuinely thought we'd taken a wrong turn, but the cottage is just legit in the middle of nowhere 😂

    I booked this place to GET AWAY! That's exactly what we did! It's in the middle of nowhere, which is what we needed...no bustle, no traffic, just pure unadulterated escapism! The cottage was prepared beautifully for our arrival, check out the extras before you book and make your stay extra special! Pour a drink and relax in the tub under the stars to the sound of....nothing but nature and the crackle of the woodfire.....bliss. log burner was lovely and the cottage is equipped with everything you'll need for a self catering break. DO STOCK UP on food and drinks, before arrival, it's 20 minutes drive to the nearest shops. There is a fully equipped kitchen, with an undercounter fridge with small icebox, so you can take whatever you might need or want, within reason. The host left us to our own devices completely, but was very attentive and helpful, from booking, to arrangung special extras, and was fast to reply to messages during our stay, which made sure everything was perfect 👌🏻 We don't usually book the same place twice but we're sure we will be heading back to unwind again before long!

    Just a recommendation, a rug in the living room area for the dog to lie on next to the fire. Sky TV was intermittent so maybe get rid of Sky and just have the Freeview. The main front door could do with looking at as a little awkward to close.

    Cottage is really lovely and has lots of character. Very relaxing weekend away, great hospitality from Michelle and Neil. Nice walks in the area and hot tub was so lovely and hot!

    Nothing thank you for a beautiful couple of nights.

    If you are looking for a secluded cosy retreat, look no further. Beautiful little cottage with lots of quirky features. Mixes cottage charm with a spot of luxury. The wood fire hot tub is the perfect addition to this cottage. Sat in the dark, away from the hustle and bustle of life the listening to the trees and local wildlife was bliss. Yes, you have to get the fire going. Not just push a button, but it totally adds to the experience and charm while being in keeping with the beautiful natural location. Best 2 nights sleep iv had in a long time total relaxation and amazingly comfortable bed. Michelle was amazing and extremely welcoming and friendly. It's very clear that she loves her little bit of heaven and takes great pride and joy in being able to give others a small taste of it.

    The sofa bed was uncomfortable and we found the hot tub a little too much work to heat. We paid extra to have it heated for when we arrived but still had to wait a while for it to heat up.

    The location and cottage itself are beautiful. Dog friendly. The owners Michelle and Neil are so friendly, lovely and helpful :) we were able to visit some nearby attractions / walks on our stay.

    Such a quirky little cottage in the middle of nowhere. You can see the stars at night and hear owls, foxes, and other wildlife as you soak in the hot tub. Michelle is an absolute star and couldn’t do enough for us. Can’t wait to go again!
