We had a great stay at the Birdsong cottage, which has a very personal feel to it. The garden space is fantastic to relax at the end of the day. We thought the accommodation was well equipped and Nicola was a welcoming host!

Great location and a nicely finished small house and garden. I didn't realise there was no TV - not a problem for us but some people may miss that when booking. We would definitely stay again and enjoyed the whole experience.

The Cottage is exactly as described and pictured. It was very clean and comfortable, plus lots of tips about the area. We enjoyed our stay very much and were very happy about the great teas and the vegetables from the garden. All organic, which we appreciate very much. The garden and the birds were a delight.
