What our Visitors Say

"We have had a lovely week. It was great to have all the facilities with so much space and the cottage is set in a lovely village. Looking forward to coming again." The S Family, Powys

"First impressions were 'Wow wee!' Very spacious. Took away all the stress. Home from home with all the right equipment. We will be back. Lovely part of the world. Many thanks." The S Family, South Wales

"This is the first time we have had a self-catering holiday since i became disabled and confined to a wheelchair. This cottage is certainly better equipped than any of the hotels and guest houses we have used over the last few years. We were very appreciated of the separate accommodation for a carer, as it enabled our daughter to accompany us and still have some private space." The P Family, Wirral
