Lovely cottage, friendly owner. Would suggest guests ignore sat nav as it will take you down tracks that make driving onerous.

We really enjoyed our stay at the old rectory! It was the perfect, quite week we were after, as theres virtually no noise of passers by and the property had everything we needed on the days we wanted to do nothing. Theres some lovely local reservoirs and beaches within short drives that make the stay even better! The only thing we found, was the gaRead morerden was slightly smaller than we expected. This was only an issue given we took a large dog, it would have been perfect for a smaller pooch! Hide

A cosy house in idyllic settings. Quiet, comfortable, and fully equipped. Two full-sized bedrooms, large living room and kitchen, and a cool outside area with a fire pit. Easy to find and to check in, and communication with the owner was swift.

The cottage is well presented and is in good decorative order. Clearly only quality materials have been used in this conversion. Entry to the driveway requires a three point turn to be able to approach satisfactorily. Heating is very effective on colder evenings. The master bed is very comfortable. There is a local pub but my experience wasnt that Read moregreat. Plan was to have a steak ne evening then a curry on another but the steak wasnt very nice and my beer was cloudy. Didn't go back Hide

We had a lovely, peaceful stay in this cottage. The bedrooms were beautiful, although it took us to hunt around to find where to hang our clothes. The beds were unbelievably comfortable and consequently had the best nights sleep for a long time. In terms of cleanliness it couldn't be faulted and the kitchen was adequate for a short term stay. The lRead moreocal pub served wonderful Punjabi food and was a very short walk to the cottage. Would recommend this cottage for a short restful break. Hide
