Summary: A lovely period cottage, surrounded by beautiful trees, and steam trains whistling now and again.Comfortable furniture, and everything you needThank you
Debra H. May 18, 2025 12:37:11 PM
Summary: It was the perfect accomodation for us as a family with two little dogs. Plenty of room for them to play! The lounge area was probably more suited to 5 adults rather than six, but it didn't seem to matter as we spread ourselves out between the lounge and dining areas. The hosts went above and beyond for us re: both checking in and out and in communication and friendliness. We were attending a wedding close to the cottage so location was perfect. Overall we rate 5 stars! The only thing to consider or be aware of is the small step down from dining area into kitchen/bathroom area. Only one step but for our elderly parents we needed to leave lights on. Apart from that everything was great!

Summary: My in-laws had a lovely stay in this property. It really is the perfect location. We leave local to the hills and our children (ages 6 and 3) loved visiting. Very pretty and definitely comfortable. This is our second stay with Evelin and we will be back . Lovely extra of a voucher for a local cafe was very much appreciated.
