It was lovely to find somewhere that accommodated 3 couples comfortably and all able to have their own bathroom/showeroom. The setting is beautiful with the addition of the community shop and cafe being a real treat. Everything in the property was so clean and provided us with everything we needed including ample space to cook/eat and relax. The outside space is such a bonus too

A really lovely set of dwellings with a good shop and very nice cafe in the courtyard. Owners could not have been more helpful. The village itself is lovely with nice woodland walks and a good pub. The 2 cottages our group used were perfect, especially the Orchard which had a nice outdoor area overlooking the Orchard. They were very nicely furnished and had everything you could need. Would highly recommend.

Orchard Cottage had everything we wanted, a well appointed kitchen, comfortable seating and a secure garden. With the fabulous community café & shop next door and amazing walks from the doorstep we had a perfectly relaxed weekend.

Orchard cottage was the perfect base for exploring this part of England. We had everything we needed and more in the cottage, and the community shop next door was an added bonus. Loved the walk through the woods too (practically on our doorstep) so many different ways to go. We hope to come back again so we can explore some more. Thank you again for a great holiday.

The cottage has a wonderful layout of the rooms. Beds super comfortable, very clean, equipped with attention to quality, comfort and detail. We didn't miss anything in the kitchen. Well equipped and finally enough space in the fridge. We really liked the orchard and the whole property. The farm shop is a plus. Jessica and her family are warm hosts. We and our dog felt very comfortable. There is still so much to discover and we would love to come back.

We combined a work trip with catching up with a relative and The Stables was great for the 3 nights (2 nights for our daughter)If we have the chance to stay again I think that I would ideally choose one of the larger units. We made good use of the handy laundry room and communal garden area. We had never been to this area of the UK before but work gave us the opportunity to explore it and I thought it was very friendly and picturesque.Would like to return.

Absolutely stunning accommodation located in a beautiful setting. The cottage is extremely well furnished and has everything you need for the perfect getaway. Ideal for families or small groups. There is also a great, well stocked community shop located within the courtyard and the village pub is 2 mins walk (which serves a fab Sunday roast). You will come away feeling totally relaxed and recharged, highly recommended.

Booking out all of these cottages for our wedding was the best decision, we loved having the shared garden space and cafe on site to spend lots of time together throughout our stay. Owners are lovely and helpful.

I was with a party of seven and everyone was very complimentary about the set-up and comfort, with which I agree. Being in a wheelchair, I really appreciated the accessibility of The Stable and downstairs at Orchard Cottage. The one issue was that I could not get into the shop without crossing the gravel which was hard work on the wheels - extra concrete from the foot of the Orchard Cottage ramp to the shop door would solve that.

Quiet, convenient and safe location with the added benefit of the village shop across the yard.

The design is perfect for large grouos, with luxurious bedrooms, well provided for kitchens round a beautiful coutryard, with a garden connecting everyone, with privacy, but with the fantastic community shop next door. Jessica was a lovely host .
