Faultless cottage.

This has been the best property we have stayed at. Everything you could need for a holiday, if it isn’t here you probably don’t need it. The attention to detail in the cottage is excellent from the welcome items,fixtures/fittings to the decoration and equipment in the kitchen and the games room,everything is there. Jane has put together a fantastic family destination. The cupcakes were excellent too. My family really enjoyed this property. Jane was easy to contact throughout our stay and information prior to arriving was superb and we were greeted by Jane on arrival. If I could give this property more stars I would. Thank you very much from us all. Would not hesitate to recommend this property.

Fabulous stay

Ivy Cottage was a wonderful home from home. Jane, our lovely host had thought of everything, from a very nice welcome pack, to garden games and lots of other small touches that made our stay such a good one. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again and would heartily recommend the place!
