About the host
Hosted by Host
Hello, I’m Clair, and together with my Son Tye and other family members we run Tunnel Cottages. We love welcoming guests to our little countryside retreat, where comfort and nature go hand in hand. My partner David is the handy one who keeps everything running smoothly, our two daughters Chloe and Rosie enjoy being part of the day-to-day, and we also have two friendly ponies who love to say hello to visitors.
Our cottages are designed for cosy, relaxing stays with underfloor heating, log burners, and outdoor spaces perfect for BBQs and stargazing. We’re also pet-friendly (with a small additional charge), so your four-legged companions don’t have to miss out. A starter pack of logs is included, with extra bundles available to purchase if you’d like more.
Whether you’re here for countryside walks, local attractions, or just a peaceful break surrounded by woodland, we’re always happy to share recommendations and make you feel right at home.
