Jo was very welcoming during our stay. Lots of knowledge about places to visit. Not only was the cottage clean, very comfortable and in a great location. I have mobility issues, the cottage had a great size walk in shower and the main bedroom on the ground floor made it really accessible for me. We will definitely be back.

Joy was lovely and the property was clean and comfortable. Unfortunately it wasn’t very private for what we were looking for. There was a garage sale both mornings of our stay from early with people just hanging around outside the living area patio doors which made us feel uncomfortable, we had to keep the curtains closed for privacy. It would have been nice to have a closed off private area outside the patio doors maybe. We didn’t get to spend much time relaxing here with the lack of privacy.

Lovely, relaxing weekend away with our dog. The bed was comfortable, well equipped kitchen. Nice shower, only a short walk to a nice place to eat, and the hosts were super friendly and although we didn’t experience any problems, I’m sure they’d be very helpful .

Beautiful place to stay

I stayed here with my best friend to celebrate her birthday. Joy and Brian were really friendly, as was Rolo their dog! The accommodation was perfect for our needs. It was in a peaceful location but accessible to the main roads in the area. It’s a great place to stay and we hope to return. Thank you Joy, Brian and Rolo.

Short stay

We stayed for 2 nights at Joy and Brian and throughly enjoyed ourselves. The totally enclosed garden gave us peace of mind leaving our dogs to be fully secure and play with Rolo. They loved their stay, and Joy and Brain where very welcoming, friendly and it seemed like we had known them for years. We will definitely be back. Bonnie and Graham
