Fabulous cottage in a tranquil setting

The cottage was spacious and very comfortable. We had everything we needed for cooking as well as up to date laundry facilities. The beds were so comfortable and fresh. Outside was perfect with the hot tub put to good use and walks to the river.

Fantastic place - so good I have stayed twice this year

Great weekend bolthole. Lovely surroundings, well kept and easy to get to some great places to walk and eat. Double Red Duke is highly recommended. The hot-tub is great, but takes a good few hours to heat up. Only reason cleanliness doesnt get 5 stars is it smelt of damp dog throughout and around the kitchen.

Lovely weekend stay

We (4 of us and a Dog) spent the weekend in this lovely cottage, the kitchen is super well equipped so we were able to cook some lovely meals. The bedrooms are all a really good size and there's plenty of space to hang out in the lounge. We took a while getting the wood fired hot tub going and then it got too hot so we had to wait for it to cool down, but once the temperature was right it was dreamy! The garden is well contained for a medium sized dog, I was not worried about letting her out off the lead at all. All in all a lovely little cottage for a weekend getaway

Visit to Ivy Cottage

Lovely comfortable cottage with an excellent hot tub. Quiet and relaxing but close enough to places to visit. It had everything we needed in the kitchen including staples ( eg oil & seasonings ) which was nice and there was a good selection of goodies left for us including milk for a cuppa! Very welcoming for the dog with a good enclosed garden and some nice walks down the river.

Great stay at Ivy Cottage

Perfect accommodation for family wedding stay

The cottage was set in a wonderful location and everything for a really comfortable stay had been thought of, especially milk in the fridge for a cup of tea on arrival. We really appreciated fans in each bedroom as we were staying in 30+ degrees. The only thing lacking was an outside umbrella for the patio table. We will definitely be returning with the wider family for another stay.

Lovely property, well maintained in a peaceful location perfect for our Christmas break, larger oven would have been ideal as not quite big enough for the turkey and we were just 4 people.

Beautiful cottage, super location

Perfect cottage for our break away with my elderly mother and our cocker spaniel. Comfortable, spacious and very well equipped with everything you might need during your stay. We loved the location with walks from the door and only a couple of miles from shops should you need anything. We loved our time at Ivy Cottage and will definitely be back!

Amazing stay!

We stayed for my mums 60th birthday. 6 adults a baby and a dog and would return in a heartbeat! All the rooms were immaculate, everything was perfect, super clean and comfortable for us all. The gardens and surrounding area were so well kept and we even made apple crumble from the tree outside! We know we will be booking again when we can as we had the most perfect stay.
