"We found this accommodation absolutely perfect for our wedding celebration weekend. We had our two families stay with us so booking both cottages worked so well whilst still being able to socialise together in one cottage but having space to relax or breakfast separately. The large room worked really well as a Bridal room and felt really special to rerun to once we were married. The accommodation was beautifully decorated, very clean and well organised. The owner was lovely and very helpful and is on hand if you need them. Our only suggestion for improvement would be to make the two cottages more accessible to each other if you have one large group sharing them - walking down the driveway didn’t always feel the most practical solution. Thank you so much for having us and we hope to stay again in the future."

"Lovely and relaxing place to stay!"
