Not good

Cold from arrival to departure, evident gaps in window by kitchen/living room - horrid droughts for others, awkward to lock door, single beds yet specifically stated double.. will seriously consider a return. The handrail foot of stairs needs seeing to…

Wonderful!

We stayed at Arian cottage. I could use hundreds of words to describe how great our experience was but they wouldn't be enough. We received a warm welcome, the views from the accommodation were spectacular, the cottage was cosy and had everything we needed (and more!) I couldn’t recommend it enough and would definitely stay again! Thank you for an amazing experience!

A taste of country living in cosy comfort.

The cottages were quaint and beautifully furnished all pretty for Christmas. The owner looked after us by lighting the stove in the barn and checking we had everything we needed. We loved the views and country walks.

Perfect hideaway

Location is lovely. Fantastic views across the valley. Close enough to town but feels a million miles away!

Pleasant stay in quiet cottage

The location is great, with quick access to the woods behind but also a 5min drive to the nearest large supermarket. Wood burner is great within a cosy open plan lounge/kitchen. kitchen nicely equipped with dishwasher. Small patio area outside with lovely views down to the town but not secure enough for a medium-large dog or a dog who is a jumper!

About the host

Hosted by Host

Host profile image
Hello, I’m Clair, and together with my Son Tye and other family members we run Tunnel Cottages. We love welcoming guests to our little countryside retreat, where comfort and nature go hand in hand. My partner David is the handy one who keeps everything running smoothly, our two daughters Chloe and Rosie enjoy being part of the day-to-day, and we also have two friendly ponies who love to say hello to visitors.

Our cottages are designed for cosy, relaxing stays with underfloor heating, log burners, and outdoor spaces perfect for BBQs and stargazing. We’re also pet-friendly (with a small additional charge), so your four-legged companions don’t have to miss out. A starter pack of logs is included, with extra bundles available to purchase if you’d like more.

Whether you’re here for countryside walks, local attractions, or just a peaceful break surrounded by woodland, we’re always happy to share recommendations and make you feel right at home.
