- "Excellent cottage in great location.Many Thanks for Xmas touches... Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo" - "This is a lovely secluded cottage in the grounds of the owners house. When I say grounds, I mean grounds. Lots of lovely beautifully maintained gardens, including an enclosed Kitchen garden, are all available to use. They even have an owl in the garden, which although we didn't see we heard several times. The hostess was very friendly, and bakes a home made cake for each set of guests. It has only been converted from a barn within the last couple of years so everything is very new and in good condition. We had a lovely stay and I would recommend it.
