Customer Rating/Reviews

The property, the location, the views and the peace. Author: Mr Phillips, Coulsdon, - Date of Stay: 10/2011

The cottage was fantastic, as was the location. The local pubs were very welcoming and the food was excellent in quality and price. Author: Mr Higginson, Ballyclare, County Antrim - Date of Stay: 09/2011

We enjoyed the tranquility of the location and being able to walk from the house. The Ship Inn is within easy walking distance and offers excellent food. This was our second visit to the house and I wondered if the high standard would be the same the second time around, and it was. Thank you to the owners once again.

The area was idyllic and the cottage was beautiful, the beds in particular were very comfortable. We loved having the sheep over the garden wall and waking up to them calling in the morning. The area had plenty of things to see and do. We would love to come again! Author: Mrs Andrews, Spalding, Lincolnshire - Date of Stay: 07/2011
