We had a wonderful Christmas stay in this cosy, comfortable cottage. It’s beautifully decorated and from the moment we arrived it truly felt like a home away from home.

The cottage is beautifully presented, is well furnished and comfortable. The upstairs double room has an enormous en-suite with bath and separate, large walk in shower. Downstairs is a pretty twin room and separate bathroom (bath with shower over), alongside the lounge, dining and kitchen areas. Outside there is a large gravelled area for cars together with a small lawn with patio, table and chairs. The location is within the very picturesque village of Froyle - think of red brick cottages and pretty cottage gardens. With the benefit of an excellent pub - The Anchor - just along the road, which is open from breakfasts onwards, and you can be as lazy as you wish! Just a few minutes from the A31 makes it easy to travel all around the surrounding areas to explore as much as you wish. Lara has been a very good host and has dealt with our questions quickly and efficiently. We would not hesitate in recommending this as a place to stay and hope to return in the future.
