We arrived at this truly charming thatched cottage and given a warm welcome by Mandie and David. I was immediately struck by history of the cottage and the sense of calm. We were offered a pot of tea and cake and shown our beautiful suite of rooms. The bedroom itself was warm and the bed comfortable. The clean white linen on the bed and the quilt complimented the rooms ambience. The additional room connected to the bedroom enabled us to make our own tea/coffee, and the lovely biscuits were very welcoming after a busy day. The room also had its own fridge for fresh milk and the still and sparkling water were really appreciated. The bathroom, was stunning and tastefully decorated with fresh white fluffy towels. The attention to detail was amazing. Breakfast was a feast! A choice of cereals (including gluten free), fresh orange juice, filtered coffee and tea. The full English breakfast is a must, especially David's scrambled eggs, and of course lots of toast with jam or marmalade. No need for lunch! David and Mandie really understand how to give their guests a wonderful holiday and we cannot recommend Nightingale Cottage highly enough.Although David and Mandie were our hosts when we arrived, I feel we left as friends. Thank you so much to you both. Caroline and Allan.

On arriving we were given a warm welcome by Mandie and David, we found our bed very comfortable with clean white linen and accommodation was clean and well cared for. At breakfast there were cereals, also a full fried breakfast, also toast with honey or marmalade which kept us going for most of the day.We are hoping to be able to go back to this lovely retreat not only for a brake but to visit David and Mandie who made our stay so pleasant.
