Cottage Location

Customer Rating/Reviews

Owners were very helpful. The cottage is in a great position, very relaxing and a high standard of furnishings and decor. It felt like home from home, which is not always the case in holiday accommodation. The best holiday home we have stayed at. Author: Mrs Smart, Lee-on-the-Solent, Hampshire - Date of Stay: 11/2011

I liked the fact that it was near to many attractions and it wasn't difficult to get to them. The cottage was well maintained and the standard was excellent. The owners are very pleasant. They came and introduced themselves which we thought was a very nice thing for them to do. Author: Mrs Waldron, Bootle, Merseyside - Date of Stay: 08/2011

It was very good in all respects. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and the location good. I would not hesitate to return at some time in the future. Author: Mr Price, Fareham, Hampshire - Date of Stay: 06/2011
