Enjoyed our stay in coach cottage, so peaceful,and really beautiful gardens to enjoy. cottage really cosy, comfortable and clean, ( ducks very friendly, will miss feeding them,) Thank you for making our stay a real pleasure, and will tell our family and friends what a wonderful place. Pauline & Fred
Another wonderful holiday in your cottage, this is our 8th year, everything perfect, such a warm welcome looking forward to next year. Diane & Bert
Gems are hard to find, but we have found one here, so we will be back. Greta & George
Our stay here was really great, It's much nicer here than we could ever have imagined. We enjoyed our walks down to the river and feeding the ducks and the daffodils are beautiful. If we ever find ourselves in this part of the world again we will surely return to this cottage. The Cranmore family Alberta,
Wow what a week ! I write on behalf of the family and myself to say that we were all absolutely stunned by the accommodation, the gardens ,the flower pots and especially the superb walk down to the river. An idylic spot on a quiet warm summer evening, watching the ducks, feeding the swans, he was like an old friend by the last day, and just listening to the trickle fo the river and the occassional splash made by one of the many fish. The whole setting of the holiday accommodation was both beautiful and peaceful, we couldn't have wished for a more tranquil, charming, well equipped cottage. Richard Cathy
Our 4th visit and as usual thoroughly enjoyable. The decorations both inside and outside were lovely and we especially liked santa coming down the chimney in our fireplace. Thank you for making this a special christmas for us.
