Winters cottage is an absolute dream. My family and I visited over christmas and it came out to be the best christmas we’ve ever had. The area is quiet, with nature trails and monuments not too far away, the cottage itself was clean, stocked with everything you need, and incredibly cozy. The owner kept up consistent communication with me for months before our stay and was nothing but kind, warm and welcoming. We will absolutely be visiting again, and couldn’t recommend this location more

We just finished our family holiday, staying 5 nights. The cottage was exactly as described, everything needed was provided. Kitchen has all the pots, pans, utensils needed. The beds are very comfortable and clean. Fiona has been a fantastic host, very responsive, friendly and provided us with a lot of information. The garden is amazing, fantastic for the kids to play, with amazing views over the fields and loads of birds to listen to. We had beautiful weather during our stay but the cottage has two log burners which would have been great on rainy days.The only thing we were surprised with was the history of the cottage, an old post office, we loved the pictures of the Winter's family who used to run it. We could tell that Winters Cottage is a much treasured family home that is being shared with us. Thank you very much.
