The cottage is in a good family holiday destination with woodland walks and nearby attractions such as the Bluebell Railway and kayaking on a lake. We enjoyed the multiple common rooms in the house and the kitchen was suitably equipped. We rented the adjoining 2-bed annex which gave a quieter space for some of the family. We loved the big open gardRead moreen with some flat areas for games, a swing and a fire pit. Hide

An excellent house for a family gathering. The grounds were lovely and well used by the young children. The flowers and goodies on arrival were very welcome!
