Beautiful property, immaculate decor, fixtures and fittings. Facilities excellent, and location is perfect for a quiet retreat but close enough to walk to the local pub, The Swan, delightful!
Absolutely stunning cottage in peaceful surrounding with excellent facilities. Kitchen was really well equipped and the hob/oven was easy to operate. Bedrooms were comfortable and bathrooms were perfect.We meet the host as we checked in who gave us a tour and answered all our questions.We all said we would happily stay again.
We had a wonderful time over Christmas it was so magical. What a stunning location we were so relaxed, Colin was a great help with everything. The quality of everything in the cottage was top level and finishes were amazing. We can not recommend this place highly enough, not sure why it had one bad review I would defiantly not listen to it.Thank you so much for these amazing memories with the family. We will be back
My Friends and I stayed at Cosgrove Cottage over the weekend just gone, and it was nothing short of magical. The setting is simply beautiful, right on the edge of the Forest. The marketing photos do not do it justice, you have to see it to believe it. The presentation of the actually property was immaculate and the Owners were very possibly the nicest people I have ever met. Warm, welcoming and extremely accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. The Tour of the Grounds was informative but relaxed, and we had the most wonderful time. I shall be returning and I urge anyone to visit this place at least once.
