Perfect weekend. Thank you.

18 DECEMBER 2017

Great facilities, very clean and WiFi let us stream HD Netflix no problem! Absolutely loved The Barn and would recommend it to anyone!

15 DECEMBER 2017

Amazing cottage in an lovely location. It was warm and friendly whilst being modern at the same time. The cottage had everything you could need. Our nearly three year old loved his “new house” for the week we stayed and was sad to leave.

6 OCTOBER 2017

Beautiful accommodation, lots of little details that made the holiday special. Fantastic location, loved the walks and ponds. Picnic basket set enticed us to a proper picnic for the first time in years. Great place for rest and relaxation

10 SEPTEMBER 2017

Lovely spacious and well-equipped property in a great location. A real rural retreat!

5 SEPTEMBER 2017

Excellent location. Cleanliness and quality of accommodation outstanding. Facilities top quality.
Only minor fault was welcome hamper which was poor - disappointed..

4 AUGUST 2017

We loved our stay at the barn. It was very clean and had everything we needed. Felt like a home away from home and would definitely stay there again!

14 FEBRUARY 2017

We loved our stay at the barn, the property is extremely well equipped and maintained to a high standard. The location is excellent and the ambiance of the site is very relaxing. A hamper of food and milk is provided on arrival which is a fantastic service. I have seen some criticism that this hamper includes gluten free products. I personally think it is wonderful that the owners accommodate people with other dietary needs and see no issue with this being provided. There is a local store nearby should you require. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area and we will definitely be returning. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay.

27 JANUARY 2017

The Barn was perfect. Had everything you could ask for and the service was fanatastic. Kendal was very helpful and resolved any issues immediately.

17 JANUARY 2017

No alcohol! And gluten and dairy free. Very strange!!!!! Very lovely acomadation though.

24 OCTOBER 2016

Accommodation and fittings were first class, unfortunately the hamper was the poorest we have ever had. No fruit or cheese, the bread was out of date, coffee and
Tea poor. Only soya milk.

1 OCTOBER 2016

Might be worth checking the 'use by' date on food left in the hamper left for guests (which otherwise was lovely!).

29 SEPTEMBER 2016

Beautiful barn with a fantastic sunny courtyard, really peaceful setting with fantastic scenery.

20 SEPTEMBER 2016

Exceptional self catering, there was nothing to miss from home because literally everything was provided. Beautifully maintained cottage and surrounding farm lovely area, very highly recommended.

13 JULY 2016

The Barn is nicely appointed and reasonably equipped (although not fully to RR standards). The fact that the owners in a hospitality industry, think it appropriate to enforce their own dietary preferences (no gluten, no dairy, no alcohol) on their guests is extraordinary. We tried to unravel this in advance with the housekeeper to avoid being given and paying for gluten/dairy free option which would certainly not be our choice and ended up with half a hamper - no fruit, no eggs, no fruit juice, no filter coffee, no cereal. This isn't really acceptable.

25 APRIL 2016

excellent condition and very well euipped

4 APRIL 2016

Stunning Barn at Vobster and really clean..... BUT no Vodafone signal. Occasionally possible to send or receive a text, but phone calls necessitated walking half mile up the lane. This does need to be pre-advised to potential guests

16 APRIL 2019

When we first arrived, we found the location was idyllic. Due to the late check-in, 4pm. We arrived with much of the day gone so we headed out for a walk in the surrounding fields and country and thoroughly enjoyed it. That evening the owner, Sebastian popped by to meet and great us and was hesitant about us having a German shepherd. That make us feel very awkward to the point we almost up and left that same night. We booked through Rural Retreats and expressed we had a German shepherd and was told this was fine and not an issue. While I appreciate Sebastian is looking after his interests and explained of a previous time a dog did some damage - Rural retreats should stop large dogs being allowed as part of the booking. As I mentioned this made us feel very awkward and really dampened our whole experience and we felt we had to be extra cautious.

The location turned out to be very close to local amenities and was well placed as you wasn’t able to tell unless. There is plenty to see and do within the area.

I do think that the late check in of 4pm is a bit too late, the cowshed isn’t a large building and to allow 6 hours to clean it before the next guest can arrive almost makes the first day redundant, the cowshed could be cleaned within 2 hrs at most.

The welcome hamper was a nice thought however given their location and proximity to location wildlife and farms etc we would have liked to see some more organic or locally produced items, most of the welcome basket was from Tesco’s all except the butter and cheese if I recall.

The external courtyard was as described, albeit the gate latches were broken and we had to resort to use a breeze block to keep the gates closed while the dog was out there.

To summarise while we enjoyed the area thoroughly and certainly would return we unfortunately probably wouldn’t rebook this property.

2 APRIL 2019

Homely feel, and amazing views.

25 MARCH 2019

Lovely location, helpful owners

25 JUNE 2018

It was fantastic. We have a fabulous time, Sebastian was the perfect host. 100% would stay again!

25 JUNE 2018

What great feedback for our gorgeous new property the Cowshed. Many thanks.

4 JUNE 2018

The property was beautifully presented- quirky- with quality fixtures and fittings. It was clean, well equipped and the welcome hamper was well stocked. There were plenty of local walks, and Wells was also within walking distance! The owner was friendly but respectful of our privacy. Would love to re-visit.

14 MAY 2018

Lovely and clean. Perhaps an oven tray and wine glasses would be
useful. Owners a positive delight and bought a parasol which was needed for the extreme unexpected heat.
Would return in the future and recommend.

lovely toll house in a great location very friendly village, 3 nice pubs the ancient mariner has good food, the hamper was first class everything we needed, even the children in village was polite

7 MAY 2018

Another wonderful review for the Toll House and Nether Stowey. Many thanks.

14 APRIL 2018

We had a wonderful short break in the Toll House - beautifully decorated and maintained, with everything you could need including a really useful welcome hamper of bread, milk etc. The location is quiet but perfect for getting to various sights and attractions nearby - we loved Dunster and Kilve Beach. Thank you for a lovely stay!

26 FEBRUARY 2018

Fantastic little place which is perfect for a short break..
good pubs, great local shops, great walks and plenty to visit nearby...
well recommended,

7 NOVEMBER 2017

Excellent. Quaint, cosy and just what we wanted :-) Lovely basket of goodies (bread, biscuits, cereal, jam), milk, eggs, wine and cheese in the fridge. Lovely fire in the wood stove ready to light. Lovely bathtub too. There is no phone signal or wifi which provided a welcome break. The local pubs have it, if you feel the need to connect. Drove to Watchet and East Quantoxhead for a really nice day trip. Many thanks for all your thoughtful touches!

7 NOVEMBER 2017

What a lovely review, thank you so much.

15 AUGUST 2017

We really like unusual properties and this fitted the bill. The village was perhaps a bit disappointing as there was a boarded up garage and a bric-a-brac shop that never seemed to open! That said we tried out all 3 pubs and found the staff and the locals to be really kind and friendly.

16 AUGUST 2017

Thank you for taking the trouble to leave a review of the Toll House. We are very pleased that you liked our quaint little property.

1 AUGUST 2017

Very cute, fun and interesting house. Very well equipped. Linen would have preferred cotton. Lots of interesting pieces in house some of them could have have been better dusted. No wifi which is a big minus.

3 AUGUST 2017

Thank you for your feedback for our dear listed former toll house. We agree it is cute and full of interesting things. I am sorry about the lack of Wifi which at the moment is not being considered.

23 JUNE 2017

the property was dark and gloomy, had been shut up and smelt musty,

3 AUGUST 2017

Thank you for your feedback. I have spoken with the owner who is extremely sorry you felt this way. As a property with slate floors and gothic windows it is always going to be dark but the owner is mystified by the musty smell and is investigating.

12 JUNE 2017

Lovely cottage but lacking in recycling facilities while was disappointing

15 JUNE 2017

There should be recycling boxes by the dustbins however twice in the past the boxes have been stolen so perhaps they have been taken again. They will definitely be replaced.

30 JANUARY 2017

Brilliant little hide away

10 JANUARY 2017

Beautiful cottage, so quaint! Lovely sleepy village setting. The welcome hamper was ample and so generous - thank you!

12 DECEMBER 2016

Lovely little cottage in super village. Owner responded very quickly when there was a problem with the front door lock, could not have asked for more.

6 NOVEMBER 2016

Fantastic

11 OCTOBER 2016

9 OCTOBER 2016

Wonderful cottage in good location

26 SEPTEMBER 2016

My parents loved the toll house that we sent them to. Sounds like it was little and cosy and a perfect little getaway. Thank you!

12 SEPTEMBER 2016

A bigger bed would have made things more comfortable, lovely inside, pictures a little creepy. Don't think I would book a cottage without a garden again but did really enjoy the stay.

30 AUGUST 2016

Lovely historical property with charming features, shame there was was a lot of the cleaning apparatus on show such as the vac and mop bucket in the kitchen next to the fridge. Lots of locked storage for personal storage, in such a tiny property, a more stripped back approach to storing would have been better. Could be at risk of feeling like you've borrowed someone's home rather than being in a holiday cottage. Really comfortable bed and beautiful bathroom and fire places. Really nice location for walking. Quantocks well worth a visit. Overall a really pleasant holiday, thank you.

Beautiful, comfortable, well-equipped cottage in enviable position.

2 AUGUST 2018

Beautiful house very comfortable, central and easy to explore Wells, short walk to supermarket. We also thoroughly enjoyed being able to use the bus service to visit other areas of Somerset enabling us both to enjoy the countryside, and not worry about parking.
An amazingly restful enjoyable holiday

23 JUNE 2018

We love this home! The gorgeous location across the green from Wells Cathedral is matched by the lovely comfort and meticulously clean interior of this property. Every detail is anticipated and the house is so easy to relax in. It’s within walking distance of every amenity you could possibly want or need while in Wells. This may be our favorite Rural Retreats cottage - and we’ve stayed in many of them throughout the years. We can’t wait to return!

18 JUNE 2018

21 MAY 2018

A very beautiful house in a wonderful setting overlooking the Cathedral in Wells.

10 MAY 2018

The house was very special. There are not many holiday let's that have a view of a cathedral. The decor, furnishings, cleanliness were 5 star. Never ever have we stayed in a cottage that not only provided a wonderful selection of food etc, but a basket of yummy chocolates was the icing on the cake.

24 APRIL 2018

A well-appointed, comfortable house in the perfect location. The welcome basket was very generous with everything we needed to get started.

2 APRIL 2018

Everything we have come to expect from Rural Retreat holidays. This time the situation of the cottage was especially charming and convenient. We hope to return sometime.

Amazing apartment and Joyce the housekeeper did so much to make our stay perfect. The welcome hamper was much appreciated and all of the instructions and information beforehand was really helpful.

24 NOVEMBER 2016

I would actually rate the housekeeping service by Joyce, as excellent. However, our stay at Catharine Place, Bath was spoilt by disturbance from the flat above. Loud footsteps and creaking floorboards made a considerable impact on our sleep and ability to enjoy this beautiful, well situated property. Because of this, we will not be returning.

26 SEPTEMBER 2016

Housekeeping excellent. No wifi is an issue as is noise from neighbouring flats otherwise mark would be excellent

15 AUGUST 2016

Big shout for Joyce who couldn't have been more helpful. Thank you.

19 JULY 2016

Very good property in the heart of Bath. No excuse to not have wifi in the property these days.

6 JULY 2016

Our 2nd stay here, 5 yrs after the first - had forgotten how much we liked it so have booked a return already. Lack of wifi an issue for some family members....

5 MAY 2016

This was below the usual Rural Retreats standards. Bed wasn't very comfortable, some maintenance issues needed attention, including dangerous mirrored intrusion in hallway and peeling wall paper. Very hard to collect keys through housekeeper, who didn't answer the phone but always called back. Wifi is essential now, not an option. The commercial BT alternative is expensive and unreliable. Supply wifi as others do, even if it means charging a little more per night. Everyone else does that.

24 MARCH 2016

Due to the many stairs anybody who is disabled would not be able to access the place. I don't think that was on the literature. Fortunately the stairs made us fitter! But what a pleasure the apartment was.

31 JULY 2018

Well presented and maintained cottage in a very quiet location (though some noise at 4.30am with locals going to work!). Good location for day trips out to Longleat, Cheddar Gorge, Bath and Weston Super Mare.

Lacking in outdoor space - no garden and just enough room for a table, chairs and barbeque but permitted access to the adjacent farmland with lots of little woodland trails more than made up for it.

Generally very clean, modern and well equipped but needed a little more attention to detail, we found popcorn under a dresser and a disposable cup under a bed. Left 2 sets of towels for 4 person accommodation but this was quickly resolved after leaving a message with the house keeper.

10 APRIL 2018

Outstanding cottage! A delight to stay in over Easter weekend. Really well equipped with some lovely extra touches including The White Company toiletries. Would whole heartedly recommend

1 SEPTEMBER 2017

Clean and well provisioned

18 AUGUST 2017

It was just perfect for a laid back stay

11 AUGUST 2017

The cottage was beautifully decorated and appointed and would have earned 5 stars were it not for the "no alcohol" policy which we thought slightly unnecessary and not made clearer at the booking stage.

20 MARCH 2017

Lovely cottage but with some odd views on having an alcoholic drink. Was there any particular reason for this?

The apartment was lovely, really clean and comfortable, it was Christmas and the sitting room had some lovely Christmas decorations. The welcome hamper was most generous.

27 FEBRUARY 2018

Great location and it's a nice feeling leaving the front door - one very minor point it's worth letting people know that the access stairs are quite narrow; they are quite a challenge when you're carrying a large suitcase.

I would recommend it to anyone.

21 JANUARY 2016

Our housekeeper was great but the apartment was poorly maintained. We only had enough hot water for 1-1/2 showers per day, until we figured out that the owner had the system set to heat water in the morning. Also the bathrooms both needed updating and the furniture was tired and worn.

17 JULY 2015

Location - excellent; kitchen excellent; room size - excellent; bathroom linen - excellent - the White Company. Access - poor; hand basin taps - poor; shower room - fan not working, shaver socket not working.

Wonderful place to escape to. Incredible attention to detail. Amazing welcome hamper, lovely simple and effective design yet somehow spacious. Great location.

27 FEBRUARY 2019

The cottage was very comfortable for two people but may have been more of a challenge for 4 adults e.g. sharing one bathroom. The decorations and furnishings were excellent - lots of thought had been put into conversion from stables to a cottage. The owners lived just 50 metres away and were there to greet us and chatted with us before our departure - much appreciated, as was the superb 'hamper' which exceeded our expectations and was easily the best yet on a Rural Retreats stay. Being away in February was always going to be risky, but the cottage was very well heated (underfloor heating) and it benefited from a lot of windows, making it light and airy. Great place for a couple.

4 SEPTEMBER 2018

We had an amazing break away at The Yard! It is one of the best cottages we have ever been to - beautiful location, finished to a fab standard throughout, amazingly equipped and the owners were very friendly and welcoming. While there we went to longleat and cheddar gorge which were both about 30mins away and we went to Bath which was a 50min journey, all great places to visit. We cannot wait to return and make more family memories in such a beautiful cottage!

16 AUGUST 2018

Well furnished comfortable house in a quiet surrounding. No noise or light pollution. Owners living next door was helpful.

Lovely welcome hamper with local produce.
A very comfortable rural retreat.

The Yard was beautifully furnished and had everything for a few days away. Comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. Delightful setting.

1 AUGUST 2017

Beautifully finished conversion inside and out. Pleasant surroundings
Inside was clean and welcoming, all facilities you could require for a relaxing stay. Would definitely recommend this property.

17 JULY 2017

It was a great location with nearly all the amenities you could require and the large shower was wonderful. Fantastic outdoor space with the bonus of a conservatory, useful when the wind was blowing outside. A good base to explore the surrounding area with lots of walks in the locality.
However, for US the property would be 5 star if a larger fridge was provided as it was difficult to get all our food in refrigeration and there was only 2 of us! A freezer would also have been useful. A DVD player is a must in luxury accommodation although the quality of the TV was excellent. Finally it was very difficult to get any ventilation in the bedrooms at night as there were no opening windows - only patio doors - a security worry? The hamper was very welcome, however the contents could be less sugar based. Although we were warmly welcomed on arrival there was no one about to give feedback at the end of the rental. We appreciate this is a new property so hope these comments will prove helpful.

The actual cottage was beautiful, lovely garden with fabulous added touches. Loved the White Company toiletries and the BBQ coal etc was great.
The reason I didn't give the property 4 stars is the hamper given should not have been gluten free & contain nuts.
Also, I should of read the description carefully before I booked. No alcohol to be permitted, who goes away and doesn't enjoy a glass of wine!!!!!!

Was pleasantly surprised. The Cottage was tastefully done. Was as the pictures looked. Had everything we needed. We all felt really at home there. Lovely feel about the place.
Would definitely use again & recommend to family etc.

It's a lovely house, great setting, beautiful garden, clean and well decorated. Local people were very pleasant and friendly. Good family-friendly holiday (except for stairgate issue mentioned below). Kitchen great for cooking and the basket of food was a really kind addition. I slept in the downstairs bedroom and it was such a comfortable bed.

We were pretty surprised when we arrived and discovered the no alcohol policy. We were a small group with infants and I'm pregnant so it wasn't a big deal, but if you're going to tell adults they can't drink alcohol then it should be made pretty clear in advance. There was something about "please no drinking on the farm" in the online particulars but we had no idea that meant no alcohol in the house all weekend.

The main problem was the lack of stairgate at the bottom of the stairs. I specifically inquired about this before booking and made sure there would be stairgates. In the days before we arrived we spoke to the owner who confirmed the stairgates would be in place. But when we arrived the bottom one wasn't there, and we found it broken in the cupboard. I was pretty disappointed as this was very important to me with two toddlers.

21 JULY 2017

Thank you for your feedback. I am delighted you had a lovely holiday and my sincere apologies for the lack of stair-gate. The owners want their properties to be a place of deep rest and therefore have a no alcohol policy. I appreciate that this is not for everyone and we do try to ensure that guests are aware of this before they book. If a booking is made online the following pop up comes up to be ticked - Please confirm you are aware of the alcohol restriction at this property. When a booking is made by phone our booking team always point out the restriction.

Outstanding cottage, finished to a high standard, place was spotlessly clean, lovely welcome hamper upon arrival.
April the owner was more than accommodating, couldn't fault it. Great NYE break.

8 NOVEMBER 2016

Very well equipped. Comfortable cottage. Great location

19 OCTOBER 2016

We loved this cottage beautifully decorated and everything you could require for a relaxing break.

2 SEPTEMBER 2016

Cannot fault the accomodation but was a little surprised to find it was a shared garden. This perhaps needs to be made clearer.

25 AUGUST 2016

Stunning cottage and location. Great for the family and added bonus of having access to the farm. My nephew (3 yrs) loved the goats and the duck castle😀 Also my mum (84yrs) loved the downstairs bedroom. Something for all ages. Definitely recommend a stay and look forward to trying other Rural Retreat cottages.

Perfect in all respects

Cottage is top, very nice and charming and with all equipments available (fully in line with the description).
Support from Nikki (house keeper) was perfect.
Small "weakness": nice garden, but no view on the landscape.

9 AUGUST 2018

A gorgeous old house in a beautiful part of the world
The garden is lovely and my two little granddaughters loved the swings, slide and sandpit

23 JULY 2018

Beautiful home, perfect for our wedding weekend!

17 JULY 2018

We have stayed at many holiday cottages but this one was by far the best. The furniture was comfortable and it was very well equipped. It is the first time that night lights have been provided and in the kitchen there were trays, chopping boards and good quality pots and pans. Items such as cling film, foil, dishwasher tablets and detergent were provided. (It is amazing how many other cottages only provide enough for a few days even when the booking is for 2 weeks or more.) Even the seating in the conservatory was good quality and outside there were cushions for the chairs and sun lounger as well as an umbrella. The linen and towels were good quality too.
Of course the cottage itself is lovely and is in a convenient location because it has over 20 interesting places to visit within 45 minutes' drive.

13 JULY 2018

Really wonderful English cottage! So beautifully presented. Everything very high quality and exceptional attention to detail. Spotless. Great location too with so much to do though relaxing in the garden was also a delight. Spent four nights there. Wish we had longer. Entertained fantasy of making the owner an offer to buy it!! Caretaker also very helpful during stay - we couldn’t work the TV — and they popped around that afternoon to explain controls! Important because Wimbledon was on! On finding out my son and husband love tennis - they also dropped around good rackets and new balls so we could use a nearby court. They went out of there way to make sure we had everything we needed - which we did. If you like the look of the cottage and it’s in the right location - don’t hesitate to book.

11 JULY 2018

Excellent facilities, beautifully finished cottage , great base for exploring the area- will definitely return!

24 APRIL 2018

Nice stay. Lovely house and gardens. House was very clean with all mod cons. Underfloor heating in one of the bedrooms didn't seem to work very well though. Needs television in a reception room. Cant really watch tv in the kitchen comfortably with a large family, nor in the play room.
Overall, very nice stay.

4 DECEMBER 2018

FROM THE OWNER ~ "Thank you for your comment about needing to have television in the main sitting room, we are pleased to have introduced this facility for those guests wishing to make use of it, this is in addition to the two televisions in the cottage and projector over the carport."

11 APRIL 2018

Beautiful property in a lovely rural setting providing all the home comforts you need and friendly helpful hosts on site.
Friendly pub down the road but remember to pack the wellies!

5 MARCH 2018

We all had a lovely time in this beautiful house. We thought it was respectfully restored, meticulously kept and thoughtfully presented. It was really well equipped, and a pleasure to cook and relax in.
Many thanks to the housekeeper who was friendly and helpful. The welcome basket far exceeded our expectations too. Thank you.

10 JANUARY 2018

Beautiful cottage - comfortable and very well equipped with some great facilities for both kids and adults. Would have been perfect if located in village or town but there is plenty within short drive.

8 JANUARY 2018

Probably the best cottage we have ever stayed in. A beautifully restored property with full amenities; all top quality and very comfortable.

8 JANUARY 2018

The wonderful reviews for Redbridge Cottage continue. Thank you so much.

2 JANUARY 2018

Really old cottage beautifully renovated in an excellent location within walking distance of two pubs and a great farm shop also nearby.

18 DECEMBER 2017

Well presented - attention to detail and support when there was a power cut; a personal service which was appreciated.

22 NOVEMBER 2017

You won’t find better! It’s a special place, so well thought out as a holiday destination. It is suitable for families, couples all year round.
We particularly liked its location and it’s quiet ambiance. Froze, Bath Westbury and Bristol all very handy as is the train from Westbury to Exeter...direct and in 60 mins!

23 NOVEMBER 2017

I agree! Redbridge Cottage is a lovely property and thank you for your great comments.

Very comfortable and well equipped.

28 JULY 2018

Accommodation was up to RR standard and met our expectations. Garden was good and enjoyed walking our dog in the attached fields and woodlands, but would have benefitted from a larger table for outdoors dining. Entrance on to the main road would benefit from a mirror as it is completely blind.

1 MAY 2018

Beautiful property, very spacious, lovely peaceful location. Very handy pub just opposite. Perfect location to explore the area.
Just be aware that it's a property that doesn't allow any alcohol on the premises.

6 JANUARY 2018

We were unwell during our stay but there wasn’t a more comfortable place to be! Every detail was appreciated.

16 JUNE 2017

The property was immaculate. Everything we needed was provided for. The beautiful, huge gardens kept our children and dog entertained when we weren't out. We enjoyed some wonderful rural walks around the area, and it was close to Longleat Safari and other interesting places for day trips out. We didn't mind, but be aware that you cant leave your dog in the house whilst going on an outing. We loved it so much, we're thinking of coming back again next year.

16 JUNE 2017

We are delighted by your lovely review - thank you so much.

10 OCTOBER 2016

Wonderful - exceeded our expectations.

5 AUGUST 2016

Cottage was clean and very comfortable. Gardens absolutely beautiful. I suggest having details about the extensive gardens for exploring. Useful to have instructions about how to get oven to work. No mobile reception at cottage so it would be helpful to be provided with the landline number. Can opener is broken and no cheese grater.

A fine, clean, well-cared for house. Very comfortable and well-equipped.
We were expecting the "stunning views" from the 1st floor to be open countryside, but they really are only the garden fence at the back and a building site at the front, so we felt the brochure description over enthusiastic in this respect.

29 MAY 2018

We had a wonderful holiday at Holywell house. It is very central to visit Somerset, Devon and Dorset. The owners have put so much effort into the property which made for a very comfortable stay. Everything was spotlessly clean and modern. The beds and sofas are very comfy too. All mod cons are provided and lots of lovely extra touches like white fluffy towels and toiletries and a wonderful food hamper left for us. It is one of the best properties we have stayed at in the UK. All holiday homes should aspire to be like this one. We have already decided we will be booking again next year!

26 APRIL 2018

Excellent standard of accommodation and very well equipped.

27 JANUARY 2018

High standard of accommodation with first class facilities.we were pleased to see they still had the the decorations up which delighted the younger members of the family.

The house was perfect exactly what we wanted. Interior was all brand new and very clean throughout.
Great value for money!

Fantastic house, beautifully finished, really well equipped with everything we needed for an excellent Christmas stay. The owners live next door in the pub and were very friendly and helpful.
