Lovely gardens and host
Pleasant location and hosts and the only negative thing to say is the bed was uncomfortable. I don't know if its just because we have a really comfortable mattress at home and have got far to used to that level of comfort, but it made sleeping difficult unfortunately and without sleep it tarnishes the shine of all other things. And it doesn't even cost much to get a good mattress like Sleeping Duck etc these days so it's an easy problem to rectify, and we enjoyed everything else. Would have given 5 stars otherwise. Please be aware also there is limited mobile signal in the surrounding areas.

A quaint escape
We loved everything about this cottage and didnt want to leave to venture out for dinner because it was too cozy by the open fire. There was everything we needed and Alison couldn't have been more helpful. And the bed was amazing - we slept so well. Thoroughly recommended and we would stay again.

Cute and comfy
Such a beautiful place to spend the weekend. The cottage had everything we needed. The breakfast supplies were well thought out, beautifully presented and delicious and made our weekend so much easier. Nearby are so many great places to visit that it’s such a convenient place to base yourself. I couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Cosy Romantic Getaway
Amazing cosy cottage with full kitchen, separate bathroom and very comfortable queen bed. The provisions provided by Alison are more than ample for a couple. Various breakfast options including fresh bread, eggs, milk, yogurt and several cereals. Plus snack options. Could not fault anything. Meeting Alison and husband was an added bonus. Alison left extra special birthday wishes for my partner as she knew that’s why we were having our weekend stay. Highly recommend staying in The Shack.

A little piece of Southern France
The shack was just devine, a cosy 2-3 room bungalow with an amazing open fire, perfect for those cool autumnal evenings. The privacy was excellent, but the host is close enough by "just in case". The grounds were a delight to walk around especially with the falling autumn leaves. A perfect stay.
