A wonderful stay, relaxing and ambient, within the trees, with feathered visitors at the door. Comfy, spacious and home like , with an art space vibe. We will enjoy returning for another visit.

Everything was amazing. From the welcoming message in the front window letting us know we were in the right place, to the fine details making it our home away from home. The family made our family feel at peace. The animals were so much a joy to be around. Thank you for a great place to be while we conferenced and traveled around NZ.

Family trip

Excellent place to stay. Clean, tidy, quiet and well appointed. Close to hornby and not far from the city on the motorway yet tucked away in the countryside. Great for a family. Highly recommend.

BBQ could do with a make over and there did not appear to be any gas bottle at the property Rubbish bins could have been emptied during our stay as both were full when we left

Quiet Break

An excellent retreat, quiet and very comfortable. The cottage was warm and welcoming on our arrival. Beautiful Golden Pheasants too. Accommodating our 2 dogs was very much appreciated.Thank you Caitlin :)

Such a lovely cottage. The hen welcoming committee comes around a few times a day to see how you're doing, which our infant loved. The love triangle of golden pheasantsbdarting to and fro in the yard was also entertaining. As our stay was for a conference in Lincoln, we made ourselves at home, making full use of the kitchen and laundry. The wi-fi and nice kitchen table made working here comfortable, even with a baby in tow. The quirky but sophisticated decor was also a treat -- we tried to figure out what the creatures were on the Anthropologie rug in the kids' bedroom! Highly recommend this nice cottage, which feels quite secluded despite being mere minutes from shops. We felt like we could have lived here for years!

Unfortunately, the cottage did not meet our expectations, as the photos online are not up-to-date. In the living room, there is now a dark grey sofa that smells a bit musty, and on the rocking chair next to it, a blanket is used to cover stains on the upholstery. Without direct sunlight or electric light, the room does not feel bright or welcoming. The furniture is mismatched, and unfortunately, many decorative items clutter the available shelf space.It was also unusual for us to have to make our own beds, although the linens were provided. Another photo online is also misleading: it shows the fridge stocked with a few basic staples, as is sometimes the case. However, in reality, the fridge contained opened food items that were more of an inconvenience than something you would want to consume.On a positive note, I would like to explicitly mention the cleanliness of the bathroom and the dishes. The garden is very well-maintained, and you can hear wonderful birdsong. Caitlin is very friendly and was always easy to reach
