Where do we even start? A truly wonderful stay from start to finish. Shaan and Sef are fantastic hosts and made us feel comfortable from start to finish. My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights for a friends wedding and the location was perfect. The area is very quiet and extremely beautiful. The bed was very comfortable, the shower was really powerful and the breakfast was really tasty! Thankyou so much Shaan and Sef, you went above and beyond for us, from moving us to the bigger room, to the wedding essentials pack, to the takeaway breakfast on the Sunday! The Sunday brekfast was greatly enjoyed on our car journey home and certainly helped the hangover😉. Overall, you are both truly naturals and hosting and we could not fault anything.

Tumbleweed Cottage is a beautiful hidden jem that myself and Kay will be visiting frequently for many years to come , Shaan and Sef made us feel so welcome and so comfortable with our stay we wished we could've booked for longer, The Rooms are beautiful with fabulous views of the garden . Breakfast was amazing and Sef's fresh summer fruit yoghurts are just scrumptious, We will be back again with our children (dogs) and walk through the village, May the Force be with You

Top Tumbleweed

Occasionally you unearth a diamond and despite its name Tumbleweed is the brightest of diamonds!! Fabulous welcome and shown around the room with explanation on dinner ( if required) and breakfast order. Rooms are very well equipped and decorated to a very high standard- amazingly comfortable bed with high quality simba mattress. The tea and coffee tray is accompanied by biscuits chocolate and small fruit juices - lovely touch ! I really enjoyed staying here and without doubt will be returning- the genial hosts Shaan and Sef are great guys interesting and rightly proud of what they have achieved! I took the optional evening meal which was well priced well cooked and well enjoyed! Thanks Guys an amazing stay !

Poor description

We showed up and got to find out what we thought was a cottage - its actually a guest house with two suites .... we did not know there were stairs up to - into the suites, my sife cant get up stairs so we couldn't stay there and lost our prepaid fee. The description does not mention stairs up to the suites.... I wouldn't have booked if I had known...as an air bnber myself - I thought the description is miss leading... as compared to our how it should be described.

Loved my stay here. The hosts put the same attitude to customer care as they did on the huge refurb project that is on photos as you go up the stairs. Very welcoming - met me at the door as I arrived, quick navigation and into the room quickly. Fab place, wonderful view and garden with lovely hosts, amazing breakfast. Highly recommended
