Amanda and Tim are great hosts we stayed here for a couple of days for our wedding day and it was perfect. We got some lovely pictures outside the cottage and it was very relaxing after to be able to chill. They also gave us a bottle of champagne to celebrate and they was literally a text away if we have any issues. We would definitely come back again to stay ❤️

Perfect hosts, perfect accommodation in a secluded, safe and wonderful location. Great links into London or down to the south coast of England. Cottage is fitted out to a very high standard (Denby dinner service ) and is so quaint in its layout - bedrooms in the eaves of the roof via ladders. Amanda couldn’t have been more helpful in all aspects but especially when we had some issues booking with our bank card. Would most certainly recommend and would love to return to finish the lovely circular walk around the property.

Me and my partner stayed for a last minute weekend away. And all I can say is, perfect. It's a beautiful place. Location is close to a pub and other attractions. The hidden cottage has everything you need including some friendly alpaca neighbors. The host came by to say hello on the last day as she had been away when we arrived. Lovely person. Literally no complaints. Would definitely stay again.

Good little place with high quality furnishings. It could do with a but of a refresh though as some of the duvets are a bit past their best as well as the vintage trunks. If you have 6 people make sure they all know each other well as you're pretty much sharing a room.

The bedrooms are tiny with no headroom and you have to climb a ladder to reach them. Unsafe and cramped.
