    Relaxing getaway

    The chefs cottage was the perfect stay for us to sit back and relax. Being surrounded by nature, the comfort of the bed and seating and of course the spa made it easy to unwind. The continental breakfast was also the best I’ve ever had and we genuinely looked forward to it each morning.

    Not a negative as there is a bbq facility, but just be aware there is no oven/stove.

    The Chefs Cottage was the perfect location for a relaxing weekend to switch off and enjoy nature. It was beautifully decorated, and Steve was incredibly generous with his hospitality at breakfast and dinner time. I definitely recommend the 3 course dine in option!

    We had a lovely time! Would for sure go back.

    Loved the space. The privacy and the spa. The breakfast with a fresh baked croissant was next level!

    Nothing really we didn’t like, maybe a footpath to the house may be cool but honestly not an issue.
