A lovely little cottage, very comfortable with helpful, friendly owners next door to help with anything. Nice outdoor space with table/chairs. Very quiet location but well placed for driving to interesting and fun days out. Only downside was the Velux windows which let in lots of early morning light so we woke up a bit early.

Princess cottage was very comfortable, clean and in a beautiful and quiet country location which we loved. In order to reach any local amenities you have to drive but that was not an issue for us. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful and we would definitely stay again. Idyllic springs to mind.

We really enjoyed our stay.
We really enjoyed our stay. There are a couple of things that would have made it even better:
TV is far too small for the room - not ideal with small children too entertain
Table mats - we were uncomfortable eating at the table without them
Towels - these weren’t in the best condition, a bit washed out and very rough. If provided they should be of a better standard
Beds were very comfortable, plenty of wardrobe space. Excellent heating and showers and kitchen equipment was ideal
