Great relaxing holiday over the New Year.
By Mark and Sharon Cartwright on 06-Jan-2026Great relaxing holiday over the New Year. Cottage lovely and it had everything you need plus more. The snow made everything even more pretty and Sue and Jonah were wonderful hosts.
Absolutely brilliant!
By Mike Rhys-Ellis and Sharon Jenkins on 18-Nov-2025Well! Jonah and Sue, what can we say! Absolutely brilliant. We have only travelled 25 miles for our little stay and what a jewel you both have and we have found. Everything about your wonderful cottage is spot on. The cottage is amazing from the fire place to the bed! As for the grounds, the dogs thoroughly enjoyed them. Well done to you all. xxx P.S. We will be back!
Easter Visit!
By Kev and Jude Tideswell on 11-Apr-2026It has been great to visit and see the cottage, woods, fields and stream at a different time of year. We absolutely love our breaks here and have benefited from some great weather. Again we have enjoyed our daily wander through the fields to the woods and Sully has exhausted himself with all his exploring. Sue and Jonah have been wonderful hosts again. They are always welcoming and accommodating of any needs that arise. Thank you. Love the Tideswells.
Just LOVE our holidays here!
By Phil and Pascale Sinclair on 28-Mar-2026We love our holiday here every year and this year was no exception. It is literally the only place we find we can completely switch off! The dogs love it!
Just Perfect!
By Jason Turner and Tara on 28-Feb-2026Thank you both so much for all your hard work to make such a wonderful holiday possible ….. just perfect!
