Wonderful family holiday place

We stayed at Wagtail for 9 nights. Cousins rented Swift across the way. We had a large family gatherIng over the Christmas holidays. It was the first time seeing grandparents since the pandemic, and we couldn’t have asked for a nicer cottage. We had all the amenities we needed for big family dinners and cozy evening drinks. Such a lovely setting. Kids enjoyed the pool and games room, as well. EV charging port was a huge bonus.

Family getaway!

Great place for a family group to stay. The swimming pool and games room were well used on the rainy mornings we encountered, whole family making full use of them. All of the rooms were very spacious and can only imagine the living room log burner on a winter day! Highly recommended a visit to the local pubs!!
