The “Cottage Near Cedar Beach” was wonderful. Colleen was a great host. She stocked the house with all the basics you could need to get started. Each room was very clean, crisp and beautifully appointed. We stayed there for a family event in June, so we didn’t have a whole lot of time to enjoy the entire property. But the yard had plenty of shady spots all around the house, so you could comfortably sit outside any time of the day. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the chipmunks, squirrels, rabbits playing and the birds singing. The cottage is a short walk to Cedar Beach which afforded beautiful views of the harbor along the way. We would absolutely recommend this property!

Lovely antique property

We really enjoyed our stay here. The perfect accommodation for a short break, the views from the house were beautiful and the private courtyard was perfect for our doggo. It’s in a great location to explore lots of places near that are then only about 20 min drive. Lovely to just chill in at night too. The kitchen was our abso fave. Thank you for a great time!!!

Relaxing break

We had a wonderful stay at this gorgeous converted hop kiln. The quirkly layout was fun, lots of different levels! The beds were so comfy as was the roll top bath! The weather wasnt great so our walks were very boggy but that didnt bother us. We were so relaxed in this warm, cosy house we didnt want to leave.

We spent 4 lovely days in this original property Communication with Maggie was excellent and she was a discreetly available when we needed her. The location itself is stunning and this quirky property was a pleasure to stay in. Its proximity to the A49, makes for easy trips out. Church Stretton and Leominster were particular favourites.

The property exceeded our expectations and we had a fabulous stay. The property is really interesting and well presented, everything has been thought of. There is also so much to see and do in the surrounding area that we really wish we had booked for a full week rather than just a weekend break. Maggie was a great host too - so kind and understanding

Relaxing half-term break

The property was lovely, just as advertised. It was so peaceful and a perfect location to unwind, sit in the garden and watch the sunset over the hills. Maggie was very helpful and quick to reply to any queries. Friendly horses in the paddock was also a big bonus for our daughter, who went to see them at every opportunity.
