We had a really lovely 3 night stay at the Straw Cottage. The place is really pretty and cosy and was perfect for a couples getaway. We loved the hot tub, and had a great time just chilling by the fire with a glass of wine and cooking nice meals in the kitchen. Would absolutely love to go back and would recommend!...

We enjoyed a lovely stay at Straw Cottage and would definately stay again. A lovely private garden with hot tub is a particular selling point, with the rest of the property providing more than enough space for 2 people and dogs.
