Guestbook for Pump cottage
Of all the holiday cottages we've stayed in (and we've stayed in quite a few!!!!) This one out shines all the others. The age and quaintness of the cottage. the decor. the equipment, the friendliness of the owners the spacious gardens, well the list is endless !! Superb, cannot be too highly recommended. The Mundies and robbie the dog.
What a fantastic week we have had.Temperatures of 26plus and no rain. Have spent ages by the river and eaten every meal outside. We have been coming on and off for 11 years now, and everything is still perfect. Jackie and John seem like old friends now and make us welcome each time. Looking forward to next year already. Jan and Mick Vickery July 09
