Great house for an extended family getaway, clean and well equipped. Front, grassed garden not secure for dogs but smaller secure gravel/barked outdoor space was more than adequate for them. There were 12 of us staying and it was lovely to be able to all sit around the table and eat, play games, etc. Would definitely stay again.

Family get together

We had a lovely stay at Galtons Cottage. Beautiful weather on the Saturday led to a long walk in Holt Heath and a stop at the small farm shop. The house was so warm and comfortable, it was easy to stay in on the windy and rainier Sunday. The hot tub was great too!

Birthday/retirement get together

The house was very comfortable. The bar area was great for our party. The kitchen area and the table was ideal for our get together meals. The beds were very comfortable as wasnthe ambient temperature with the under floor heating. We enjoyed our days out at local places of interest.

Beautiful.

We had a wonderful week at Galtons Cottage. We had a range of age groups in our party, there is so much room at the cottage. The location is lovely and so near to a lot of venues. The attention to detail was amazing. We had a lot of happy times around the amazing kitchen table. The log burner was very welcome, especially after a long walk. I can't recommend Galtons Cottage enough. We would very much like to return there in the future.
