We had the most wonderful visit! There was not a single thing related to our comfort that our hosts had not thought of - including real tea and a teapot. The cottage itself is charming, with a garden to sit in, and walking distance to most of the concerts we were attending in the festival. We have already recommended it to friends.

We had a wonderful time at "Newington House" & the only disadvantage was we only had enough time during our travels to stay 1 night. Judy was there to greet us with a fire crackling away, which was so welcoming considering it was a very miserable day. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen well equipped & the bathroom had a great supply of hot water and fluffy towels. The selection of breakfast items, teas & coffees & bottle of wine was an added bonus! We must not forget to mention the toys for the kids and the dvd's supplied. We thoroughly recommend this lovely cottage and will definately be back for another visit in the near future. Thankyou Judy & Bruce xx

What a lovely house! We had a fantastic mid-week stay with everything we needed right at out fingertips.
Would definitely recommend to others and will definitely be back to spend a full weekend.
Very well set up & the owners are very accommodating.
