Beautiful old house really made our stay. We loved the fireplace and the fire pit too! It really is one minute’s walk to the pub which is very good value for money and an excellent food. Highly recommend to other families.

Beautiful little country cottage

We loved this cozy little cottage, it was full of charm and character! The kids loved exploring the lovely gardens and toasting marshmallows over the fire pit at night. Lots of little added extras made the stay special, the beautiful decor, heated bathroom floor, fire in the lounge, cozy beds etc. It was a handy location to so many interesting places with wineries to visit and places to eat and visit. Thank you for having us!

The house is charming and full of character, although a few repairs are required, and the garden is lovely and well maintained. We had a few hiccups during our stay but they were quickly and appropriately addressed by Ashley.
