I am from India and I made a booking with Prince Cottage ahead of my trip to UK as i had no place to stay till I got my accommodation. I highly recommend the place. Not only because of the comfortable stay they provide like looking after you and spooling you like a family, but also they take care of every single need you present them with. I had such a welcoming experience with Dee, intellectual conversations, learning new things, knowing more about music and hospitality in terms of food was class apart. You literally had to do nothing but just stay. I loved the experience I had. Please book yourself a lifetime experience.
