Back fenced and front garden attractively planted.
Miss Jull, Market Rasen, Lincolnshire
May 2008 | The welcome pack was an unexpected bonus, everything was thought of plus a bottle of wine. This all made us feel very welcome.
The enclosed garden meant that our dogs did not have to be on the lead all the time and therefore made our stay more restful.
The garden room was a delight as was the garden, full of birds and and very relaxing. This cottage was one of the best we have ever stayed in and I hope we will return.
Mrs Miller, Stockport, Cheshire
