    Very impressive cottage in a fabulous estate in beautiful countryside

    Very comfortable cottage with everything you would require. Beds very comfortable and the bathrooms were excellent, although the ensuite bathroom's vent didn't come on nor the shaver socket.. There is a wasps nest outside the other double bedroom, which needs removing so that the window can be opened.

    Lovely cottage, great location and we had a great weekend

    Kitchen was great and had everything you need, lounge was comfortable and the bedrooms and bathrooms were nice,clean and spacious. No problems whatsoever although maybe a few takeaway menus wouldn't go amiss as one night we didn't want to cook. Hopefully be back one day

    Idyllisch

    Mooi groot huis op een prachtige plek. Ruime kamers. Keuken goed, hoewel een grote bakpan welkom zou zijn geweest. Prima bedden, ruime slaapkamers. Ideale uitvalsbasis voor mooie tochtjes.
