An amazing place to stay 😊
This place was of a very high standard. One entered via a lovely sunroom with a comfortable couch and a view over the garden where we could see the birds on the bird feeder and the two naughty grey squirrels stealing the bird food. The kitchen/diner had everything including an Aga! On the table there was a heart shaped basket with treats in it too. The whole place was spotless and there was a comfortable lounge and TV. The bed was also very comfortable and we highly recommend this as a great place to stay.
We loved the peaceful, quiet surroundings. The cottage is very well equipped, comfortable and attractively presented throughout. The attention to detail is second to none. We enjoyed our stay at Benchmark very much.
