Magnificent stay.

Pretty happy with the room and amenities. Upon arriving it was hot. The Air con was on which was very pleasant to walk into a cool cottage. I’m sure had it been cold the gas fire would be on. It’s very quiet and peaceful and very relaxing. Highly recommend you visit. We stayed in the Camellia Cottage.

We enjoyed our stay at Clarendon Cottages ,it was clean comfortable and quiet.The only comment I would make is that you should be aware that there is no sink/running water in the little kitchenette area . This is not to say that it was listed as an inclusion (ie we were not expecting it ) however for premium accommodation it was missed and something that others may want to be aware of prior to booking , especially for multi day stays.
