Definitely recommend. We took both cottages / private rooms, both en suite and very cute. Sue was such a warm host with cake in the rooms and the most delicious breakfast. Easy walking distance to the pub and village. Feels totally remote, like a retreat. Highly recommend.

Sue and Bob's was the highlight of our whole UK trip. Between the views, the breakfast (incredible) and the ducks that come out to greet you every morning it can't be beat.

Sue and Bob are delightful hosts. They do everything to make you feel at home, away from home. Their property is a little slice of heaven that you get to enjoy too when staying there. …

Just returned from a wonderful 5 day stay in Sue and Bob's beautiful cottage in Brightwell- cum- Sotwell. Couldn't have been a more quintessentially English village feel to this location. …

My husband and I stayed in one of the cottages and my son and his wife stayed in the other hut. We all really enjoyed our stay! Everything was clean and comfortable and absolutely adorable! Sue was so nice and very hospitable.  …

Have a lovely time staying here. I stayed in the shepherds hut and even though it was November it was lovely and warm - either via the log burner or the electric fire. Sue is an amazing host and the breakfast spectacular. …

Sue is an amazing host and the breakfast spectacular. The quiet location within walking distance of a great local pub was excellent. Lots to do in the local area. Highly recommend.

One of the best places I have been hosted.|Susan is a great hoster. The breakfast is delicious and very complete. The rooms are super clean, and quiet to take the best rest. Also, there is a warmth that makes you feel like home.|I liked to wake up every morning with amazing view of the english nature that you can see from the rooms.

If you are thinking of booking a stay at Hope Cottage, and particular the Shepherds hut I stayed in, don't delay and book, you won't regret it!Set of the edge of the small village, Hope Cottage has two rooms available to guests and I stayed in the shepards hut. It is adorable and a lovely place just to sit and relax in, but with a toasty log burner and lovely en-suite so no need to rough it! And it's very well laid out with plenty of storage I suspect for two people no problem.(Oh, and there is 4g WiFi and good enough mobile signal if you still want some modern life!)There is a table on the lawn to sit in and soak up the views over the fields, or a covered seating area with a fit pit if needed. Although I mostly sat/laid in the hut with the double doors open into the countryside.Sue (and Bob) are both lovely and will interact with you as little or much as you like. Breakfast is totally delicious with fresh cold food and breakfast cooked to order (eggs provided by their hens) in the lovely conservatory overlooking the gardens and fields.And say hello to the local wildlife with a pair of ducks and pheasant visiting a few times a day and generally a lovely place to sit back and unwind.
