Lovely location, garden is great with direct access to the reserve and many, many walks. The house itself is neat and tidy, but this is definitely not a luxury cottage. Very utilitarian, lots of hard flooring, hard lighting and fire doors everywhere, which are impossible to close quietly. Kitchen very well equipped, conservatory is lovely and we spent a lot of time in there. Bedrooms are ok, good sizes. Beds not comfy and def take your own pillows. Bathrooms a bit sad, although lots of hot water and nice towels. Being on the nature reserve, we’d have hoped to sit and look at all the wildlife and birds, but you can’t see any of it from the conservatory or kitchen as there is a huge wall of brambles! Overall, we loved our stay, although not sure any of us slept particularly well. I can see that the house is functional for big groups and very easy to clean and put back together and as long as you’re not expecting the height of luxury, it’s great for what it is. It seems to be a very hot house though, we thought the heating was on at one point (don’t think it was), but we were all boiling all the time. We’d def go back for the area because the location is great, but the house is a very different feel to the other classic cottages we’ve all stayed in before. ...

Amazing cottage to stay at. The cottage itself is very comfy and well equipped, great views and a lovely garden. The location is to die for, with footpaths through the Wildlife trusts land on your doorstep. We would wait til the cows had moved to another field and walk the dogs down to the stream. The cafe at the Wildlife trusts Visitor centre is lovely to eat at, my favourite was the homity pie. We had a wonderfully relaxing time....
