“This the 3rd family visit to the cottage and each visit was better than the previous.”

We would like to thank Alison for a great time, maybe a 4th visit could be on the cards next year.

“Your website states this is a single storey dwelling….”

There are in fact 2 lovely bedrooms upstairs! We has a great week, the hot tub was well used, and Oak Tree Lodge was an excellent base. Simon and Alison went above and beyond to ensure we had a good week. The house had everything we needed and more, was spotlessly clean, and was very comfortable. Should we be in the area again, we wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Richard September 2024

“Some general maintenance required internally i.”

E. Washing machine door Upstairs bathroom door Simple instruction to override heating (up or down) would be useful. More side tables required (I.e. nest of tables)

- Richard, September 2024
Madeline September 2024

“Oaktree Lodge was a lovely cottage.”

Quiet and peaceful and had everything you could possibly need. The hosts were approachable and friendly but not intrusive. Would definitely return and recommend.

- Madeline, September 2024
Gary August 2024

“We had a wonderful holiday.”

The cottage was clean, tidy and well equipped. We were all comfortable and slept very soundly. The owners are very friendly and are on hand only next door if you should need them but are not intrusive. The cottage is very well placed for the Norfolk Broads and any of the surrounding seaside destinations. There is a local pub and shop nearby , pub can be walked to and a short drive for the shop. There is plenty to see and do in the area and some great places to eat out. A week hardly seemed long enough. The hot tub is a lovely bonus after a long day exploring. Back next year for us, we loved it.

- Gary, August 2024
Dan August 2024

“We had a lovely family holiday to Norfolk, staying here for the second time .”

This time returning with our two children . We loved how close local beaches were and enjoyed a fantastic day at Bewilderwood ( ideal for little people ) . The hot tub was lovely to go home to and relax in , in the evening . Thankyou for a lovely place to stay .

- Dan, August 2024
David August 2024

“Great cottage, very spacious and lovely hot tub.”

The hosts were very nice and approachable. Perfect location for exploring Norfolk with lots of options just half an hour away.

- David, August 2024
Beatrix July 2024

“We had such a wonderful short break!”

We absolutely loved relaxing in the hot tub and hanging out in the spacious living room. Knowing that the hot tub was checked daily gave us peace of mind. The holiday home is conveniently located near Norwich and the Broads, making it an ideal spot to explore. Everything was impeccably clean. The welcome pack was a lovely gesture.

- Beatrix, July 2024
Sue June 2024

“We had a problem the first night in opening the tri door in the lounge and the French Window in the downstairs bedroom.”

I'm pleased to say we phoned Alison who instantly came round and addressed the problem. The lodge was spotless and the hot tub was superb.

- Sue, June 2024

“Great cottage and delivered exactly what it stated.”

Thank you very much.

- Paul, May 2024
Yvonne March 2024

“Great holiday home, very clean, everything we needed was supplied including towels for the hot tub.”

It was very difficult to find as the turn off is in a lay by. The garden could do with some maintenance and the gutters were in need of cleaning out. Would still highly recommend as the lodge was perfect.

- Yvonne, March 2024
Lyn March 2024

“This property is excellent condition and value .”

We have been coming now for many years and definitely will be back.

- Lyn, March 2024
Louise February 2024

“The cottage is beautiful, wonderful space and decorated lovely.”

The beds are comfortable, everything works and you have everything you’d need, including extra towels for the hot tub. Having a downstairs bedroom and bathroom Is perfect for those with mobility issues. Great location for exploring and not a long drive from the coast. The owner was lovely and friendly, checking we had all we needed at the beginning of our trip and that we’d enjoyed ourselves at the moment. We plan on returning and have been recommending to our friends and family.

- Louise, February 2024
Catherine February 2024

“We loved our time in the lodge.”

It was warm , comfortable and everything we needed was there. The hot tub was a nice treat after a hard day pounding the streets of Norwich and the North Norfolk coast line. Would highly recommend The White Horse pub for something to eat and drink, a short stroll through the woods. Would not hesitate to stay again at Oak Tree Lodge

- Catherine, February 2024
Robert February 2024

“Wonderfull place very relaxing hope we can go back soron!”

Daisy November 2023

“We had a wonderful time at Oak Tree Cottage, only wish we could have stayed longer.”

The fire and the hot tub were very welcome in the colder weather. The house was very clean and the kitchen extremely well equipped for home cooking. We had a Sunday lunch at the White Horse nearby, which was lovely - booking advised. There is a countryside walk past a beautiful church to get to the pub, although we drove. Would definitely recommend this for a small family, there's even a bedroom downstairs for grandparents or for parents to escape older children upstairs. There is a lovely wide shower and a huge bath in the downstairs bathroom and a roomy en-suite upstairs. We loved our short break here and would very much recommend to others.

- Daisy, November 2023
Lynda November 2023

“A very spacious holiday let very comfortable the hot tub was very welcoming After a long day exploring would return.”

- Lynda, November 2023
Roger September 2023

“A delightful property for a holiday break, and will definitely be our first choice for another stay in this area.”

Owner, Alison, was promptly on hand for any little issues we had and clearly keen that we had a good holiday. The location was perfect for us, within easy driving distance to the majority of North Norfolk attractions.

- Roger, September 2023
Susan July 2023

“Lovely bungalow very clean and comfortable, the enclosed garden and hot tub were ideal.”

and the hosts were very helpful but unobtrusive. would highly recommend.

- Susan, July 2023
Pauline July 2023

“Had a fabulous time in Oak Tree Lodge.”

Everything was just right apart from constantly bumping my head on the sloped ceilings in the twin bedroom. If the walls were painted a different colour to the ceiling this may help. The hot tub was great and was checked daily. Would highly recommend.

- Pauline, July 2023
Lisa July 2023

“Very nice lodge but not 5 stars”

- Lisa, July 2023
David June 2023

“A fabulous cottage in a lovely location.”

Light and airy on warm days, and the walled private garden was so nice to be able to enjoy without being overlooked. The cottage was very well furnished and equipped, and spotlessly clean. The hosts were excellent too - available but unobtrusive. Would definitely go back.

- David, June 2023
Dean June 2023

“Oak Tree Lodge is a lovely place and as a base for exploring the North / East Coast of Norfolk.”

Alison the owner was very helpful. The lodge is finished to a very high specification and the hot tub being electric and running continually is the icing on the cake. If you need/want to be up that end of Norfolk... get the lodge booked. You won't have any regrets.

- Dean, June 2023
Suzanne May 2023

“Absolute gem of a property.”

Much thought has been given by the owners to provide a true home from home experience. We will definitely be going back

- Suzanne, May 2023

Maureen April 2023

“What a beautiful cottage Oak Tree Lodge is.”

Very spacious, extremely comfortable and delightful rooms with everything you could need for a holiday. The host was very good at communicating with us about our arrival and we found the cottage to be very clean, tidy, very well equipped and welcoming. We could not fault it. We would highly recommend it.

- Maureen, April 2023
Peter April 2023

“An excellent cottage ,very comfortable in every aspect and spotless.”

Facilities including hot tub and walk in shower were an added bonus. Hosts Alison and Simon were very helpful and informative on the local area We were 3 generations and all 3 found this an excellent base for the Broads and Norwich.The back garden is very private with patio furniture and hot tub. I would happily recommend this cottage and will certainly return.

- Peter, April 2023
Tristan March 2023

“Comfortable 5 night stay.”

Spacious accommodation, good location for most of Norfolk and especially Norwich, the broads and the North.

- Tristan, March 2023
Jeanette March 2023

“This is a delightful cottage and I would highly recommend.”

Had a lovely relaxing break with friends. The hosts were fabulous.

- Jeanette, March 2023
Mark March 2023

“Oak Tree Lodge is a lovely base to explore Norfolk - the owners were very helpful from start to finish updating us with the time we could get in on the Friday and with information about the area - its easy to miss the entrance from the main road as it looks like a layby but once you've missed it once you don't do it again - there's ample parking for 3 cars The House is very well equipped and with the underfloor heating even though its an open plan design and high ceilings it was incredibly warm over a cold March weekend There was a log fire made up and ready to go we had no need to light it as it was lovely and cosy There is everything you need here for up to 6 people - the hot tub is an added bonus and considering the price charged is a great extra - even though it was chilly outside we did use this a couple of days and just run back indoors but would suggest bringing dressing gowns The kitchen is full of useful things and it all worked ( we've been away a a group of 6 many times and sometimes this is not always the case !”

!) There's a good size TV and aHi fi which you can connect Ipods or phones too Would highly recommend this property

- Mark, March 2023
Barbara December 2022

“This property is superb, we try and come every year, love it!”

!

- Barbara, December 2022
Rae-louise November 2022

“Had another great stay at Oak Tree Lodge.”

Owner very friendly and checked on the hut tub each day always asking if it was a good time to come and check it. Great location if you want to go out for the day or just cozy up all week. We miss the log burner already!

- Rae-louise, November 2022
Lorna November 2022

“We had a lovely few days here , lovely cottage and hot tub was great .”

The owners on hand if needed I would definitely recommend

- Lorna, November 2022
Michael August 2022

“Oak Tree Lodge is a lovely property - spacious and clean with all the amenities you could need, including the hot tub which is a great addition, enjoyed by all the family.”

We were very well looked after by Alison and Simon, who couldn't have been more helpful. The Lodge is very well located, we found we were able to get anywhere in Norfolk within half an hour or less. There are some great pubs nearby - the White Horse in particular is a pleasant ten minute walk across the common. There is a big Tesco not far away, which is also next to the park and ride for Norwich, which we found very useful. I note that a previous reviewer complained about the flies, but we didn't find it a problem - Alison has installed an electric fly zapper and provided fly swatters which took care of it. At the end of the day, it's the countryside in high summer - you are going to get a few insects! Highly recommend Oak Tree Lodge.

- Michael, August 2022
Kate July 2022

“The lodge is a good size for a family of 5.”

It’s bright and comfortable. The private garden and hot tub are lovely additions. Our biggest problem was the flies. There were so many in the lodge that it made us feel very uncomfortable and we had to buy fly spray etc to deal with them. We had to spend time every day getting rid of the flies. I think the owner needs consider hiring someone like pest control to get rid of them as it really impacted our stay.

- Kate, July 2022

We were very disappointed to hear that your stay was adversely affected by flies. There does appear to be more flies this summer, presumably due to the very hot weather we are currently experiencing. However, as we don't have an infestation pest control are unable to help. We would have been very happy to offer any assistance had we known of your concerns during your stay but we really appreciate you highlighting the issue and have now provided additional methods to destroy the flies should the problem happen again.

Jenny June 2022

“We had a lovely week at Oak Tree Lodge.”

It was lovely and clean on arrival and the welcome gifts were very thoughtful. Loved the hot tub. Very private garden. Everything has been thought about and we would definitely recommend staying here. Alison the owner was very friendly and helpful and there if you need anything.

Ann June 2022

“We spent a very enjoyable week at Oak Tree Lodge.”

The property was perfect for our needs and beautifully presented inside and out. The owners were very kind and helpful and the complimentary food and drink on our arrival was a very nice touch. Also, the information folder provided on local amenities, eateries and attractions was very comprehensive and useful. We are definitely hoping to return again next year.

- Ann, June 2022
Charles April 2022

“A clean and very speacious holiday lodge with all the ameanities that were listed in the outline could not have asked for more.”

Had a great week exploring the location was perfect for getting around Norfolk. On arrival a loverly welcome package from Alison was waiting for us, and we would like to thank Alison for looking after us throughout our stay. The whole family agreed that we would love to revisit at a later time.

- Charles, April 2022
Julie March 2022

“We had a wonderful stay at Oak Tree Lodge with very considerate owners who kept in contact and made it obvious that nothing was too much of a problem, we loved the hot tub!”

!!! And the gift of chocs, wine and crisps was a lovely added bonus. It was spotlessly clean, beds really comfy and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Norwich. Thank you.

- Julie, March 2022

Thank you for making us so welcome

- Belinda, February 2022
Stephen February 2022

“Nice property in a good location .”

The pictures do not do the property justice it’s more spacious than it looked in photos. Enjoyed the wood burner, Simon had set it up for our first night all we had to do is light the paper and sit back with our complimentary bottle of wine ! The hot tub was a good size and not overlooked. Well equipped kitchen , good size fridge and freezer only problem we had was the oven shelf is too small for the oven and falls down . Down stairs bathroom has a lovely walk in shower and a huge bath and the underfloor heating in the open plan living area is a nice touch .Overall we had a lovely stay and would love to come back , Thanks again .

- Stephen, February 2022
Hannah December 2021

“Really lovely accommodation.”

Comfortable, luxurious and cosy. Loved the wood burner and the hot tub. There was a detailed info pack, sugar, cooking oil and washing up liquid as well as milk and a bottle of fizz. Lots of little details which made for a great break. The hosts were very attentive and responded quickly to queries. This is how holidays rentals should be done.

- Hannah, December 2021
Barbara November 2021

“We love it here, Alison and her lovely husband can't do enough for you, this cottage is immaculate and the facilities wonderful, adore the hot tub and the fire, great for walks in the woods and around a nearby animal sanctuary, our second time here, would love to return!”

!

- Barbara, November 2021
Rosie November 2021

“Beautiful little house that was truly perfect for what we needed.”

We stayed with some family friends and our two 3 year olds - so much to do in the surrounding areas and although it was only a short break, we could happily have stayed there for longer. The hosts could not have been more friendly and welcoming! The living area is also significantly bigger than it looks in the photos!

- Rosie, November 2021
Naomi November 2021

“We had a fantastic stay at Oak Tree Lodge, the house was perfect for our little group and was absolutely lovely and cosy - the hot tub was a nice bonus too!”

The owner was very welcoming and accommodating, we would all love to come back one day.

- Naomi, November 2021
Charlotte September 2021

“The property was lovely, well equipped and in a good location to make the most of the Broads, the coast and Norwich.”

The owners were very personable and helpful and we tried a number of the recommendations for eateries nearby and we were not disappointed. We would definitely return.

- Charlotte, September 2021
Lee August 2021

“Unfortunately the hot tub wasn’t working for the first 3 days.”

It was fixed for the Monday. The accommodation was very comfortable, lots of room & both showers were amazing! TV reception was hit & miss, as was the wifi at times but it wasn’t a major issue as we were out a lot of the time. We did have a bit of an issue with ‘flies’ but I think it is just due to the time of year.

- Lee, August 2021
Matt July 2021

“Lovely, well-equipped cottage in a rural area.”

Within easy reach of Norwich and the coast by car. Local walk went right past the cottage. The hot tub and outdoor space was super too.

- Matt, July 2021
Helen July 2021

“It would be nice to have a guest book to write in.”

A few outdoor and indoor games.

- Helen, July 2021
Susie July 2021

“A beautiful property.”

The photos did not do it justice really. Alison is a lovely lady and was most caring and helpful. We were blessed with beautiful weather, so could take full advantage of the garden and hot tub. Would thoroughly recommend Oak Tree Cottage. It was great!

- Susie, July 2021
Rachel July 2021

“Lovely cottage, plenty of room.”

Well equipped. Owners next door and very helpful.

- Rachel, July 2021
Nikki June 2021

“The property is well equipped, comfortable and in tranquil surroundings.”

The lodge is bright and modern and our host had left lots of thoughtful extras to make our stay really enjoyable. The location is great for exploring the Broads, visiting Norwich and travelling out to the coast.

- Nikki, June 2021
Linda June 2021

“Only problem was difficulty understanding the underfloor heating system, but otherwise everything was lovely.”

- Linda, June 2021
Victoria May 2021

“Owners went above and beyond to help us, the lodge was beautiful and very clean and met all are expectations and more.”

The kids loved the hot tub and the doll house and the wine and chocolate left for us was a lovely gesture, will definently be returning next year!!!!!!

The cottage was ideal for our holiday in Norfolk The owners were very welcoming and the cottage is very comfortable and a credit to their high standards and care I highly recommend Oak Tree Lodge to anyone visiting the Norfolk Broads

- Phillip, May 2021

“Good location, nice walks from the door.”

Good fish and chip shop in Coltishall (Covid friendly)

- Peter, May 2021
Jeff April 2021

“Oak Tree Lodge is exceptionally well appointed and has been tastefully modernised.”

The courtyard is private and sheltered so that we could sunbathe even in April and the hot tub is a treat. It is situated only a few miles from Wroxham for access to the Broads and Norwich is only 5 miles away. Nearby - five minute walk across the common - The Old Rectory is a freindly restaurant with very good food and The White Horse is a fifteen minute walk away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

- Jeff, April 2021
Kate October 2020

“We loved the double vaulted ceiling in the lounge including a large woodburning stove (wood provided for one evening).”

The open layout downstairs was well thought out and the whole place was lovely and warm/cosy. The wine and goodies on arrival were a lovely touch. Everything we needed was provided. The hot tub was brilliant. It worked very well, heating to temperature and the different coloured lights in the dark were great. It was in a lovely private enclosed garden so you could really relax. A key to get through the patio door from the master bedroom to the hot tub would be even better. Lovely as the downstairs wet room was, water from the powerful shower did not drain away that easily so the floor got quite wet. However, the power shower was lovely and this wasn't a huge issue when the underfloor heating kicked in. Overall we had a wonderful weekend here.

- Kate, October 2020
Peter October 2020

“We visited Oak Tree Lodge for a weeks family holiday and what a beautiful place to stay.”

Quiet peaceful surroundings but close enough to Norwich and the coast to venture further afield and enjoy the area. Alison, the owner, lives next door, and was always readily available to answer any queries. Highly recommended.

- Peter, October 2020
Linda September 2020

“We had a wonderful stay at Oak Tree Lodge.”

Exceptionally clean and very well equipped throughout. We loved the extra little touches like the bottle of wine, and there was good communication with Alison, the owner. So glad we found this property - we will definitely return sometime in the future.

- Linda, September 2020
Barry September 2020

“Very nice cottage ,clean and comfortable.”

The upstairs bathroom door would not close,the couple we went with said the shower was to powerful for size of cubicle.overall we have been with Sykes for many years we all thought we had stayed in better properties for the price,

- Barry, September 2020
Joanne February 2020

“We all had a wonderful time away.”

Oak trees cottage is an exceptional place to stay. Even if the weather was awful we still used hot tub. And enjoyed the warm cosy home from home atmosphere. Will definitely stay again and will recommend to our friends and family.

- Joanne, February 2020
Barbara December 2019

“Totally loved it here, so nicely decorated with a real homely feel, lovely and warm too.”

Hot tub was a massive bonus as was the fire, would definately love to return here.

- Barbara, December 2019
Kerry November 2019

“Oak tree lodge had lots of “little extras” which made our stay so much nicer.”

It was so useful to us to have some milk in the fridge, cooking oil and children’s plates In the cupboard as well as toys and books. The lodge is perfect for those with children. Our toddler is in bed by 7pm so it was nice to have the hot tub to occupy us in the evenings. The garden is enclosed so he could safely toddle around outside. We also had fun collecting leaves and splashing in puddles in the woods behind the lodge. Alison also provided us with a travel cot and a high chair too which saved a lot of space in the car.

- Kerry, November 2019
Charlotte August 2019

“We enjoyed our holiday at oak tree lodge.”

The cottage was fully equipped with everything we needed. The hot tub was cleaned regularly and the house was really clean when we arrived. We would come back in a heartbeat.

- Charlotte, August 2019
Martin August 2019

“Lovely cottage.”

Brilliant for exploring Norfolk.

- Martin, August 2019
Stacey August 2019

“A very clean and well presented property, that exceeded our expectations.”

A car is needed here to get around, However we did research the area well and were aware of this. The property owners are a lovely couple and nothing was too much trouble. The beautiful lodge is located a very quiet and relaxing environment. Close enough to the Norfolk broads (by car, approx 15-20 mins). Hot tub was perfect for relaxing after a busy day exploring. We would definitely go back and highly recommend.

- Stacey, August 2019
Anthony July 2019

This holiday was everything we had hoped for we took our daughter and 3 grandchildren they loved the cottage and Norfolk

- Anthony, July 2019
John July 2019

“We went on a family holiday and were attracted to the proximity of a pub and shops which were listed as within a 10min walk.”

Unfortunately it was not a safe walking distance with two young children. This was a disappointment and should be clarified in future listings as it was one of the main reasons for booking this particular property. Despite this the property itself was very good.

- John, July 2019
I E June 2019

“This is our 3rd visit to Oak Tree Lodge have had an excellent weekend and hoping to go back next year.”

- Lyn, March 2019
Dora March 2019

“This property met all our needs, friendly to both young children (lovely dolls house for them to play with!”

) and older less mobile relatives, with downstairs bathroom facilities. The kitchen could have been slightly better equipped, just in terms of quantities of items such as glasses (so had enough to have dishwasher on, and more to use). The hot tub was a hit with our oldest child who just loved it!! We loved our holiday in Norfolk and will definitely return to the area to do all the things we didn't manage to fit in this time!

- Dora, March 2019
Angela March 2019

“Lovely lodge, very comfortable and spacious.”

The hot tub is very private and set in a courtyard style garden. Owners very helpful, and we enjoyed the bottle of prosecco left for us. Would definitely return to Oak Tree lodge.

“A beautiful well equipped cottage situated in a lovely area, perfect for exploring Norfolk.”

The cottage exceeded all of our expectations and we would definitely go back.

- Lynn, November 2018
Moira August 2018

“We were looking for a cottage to be near a wedding venue we were attending.”

On information supplied by Sykes office we could not have been nearer. It was also central for Norwich and Wroxham. Alison the owner supplies everything you require.

- Moira, August 2018
Kate August 2018

“We had a fantastic holiday and the house met all our needs.”

The location of the house is fantastic and you can easily access all the attractions. The children absolutely loved the hot tub dispute the weather being 30 degrees. My only complaint was the lack of a washing line trying to dry clothes for 6 on a airer very difficult. The owners of the house were lovely and very helpful. Would love to go back one day. Kate and family.

- Kate, August 2018
Gill July 2018

“Very accommodating hosts,”

- Gill, July 2018
Jane July 2018

“We had a wonderful week.”

Roomy, open plan living downstairs was very sociable. Well equipped, very clean and comfortable. Hot tub was a surprising hit and had a lot of use. Property was close to wide variety of places to visit. Helpful owners on hand, though were not at all intrusive. Gorgeous weather was the icing on the cake.

- Jane, July 2018
Michelle June 2018

“Cottage was as described.”

We were really pleased with the open plan layout. The dolls house, toys and DVD;'s kept my little boy entertained. The house was well equipped with everything we needed my only criticism would be that the windows weren't very clean and took away from the quality of everything else the cottage offered. That said we had an amazing holiday leaflets about things in the area were really helpful and we really enjoyed Bewilderwood a local attraction that proved to be the highlight of our holiday. We would definitely like to visit again.

- Michelle, June 2018
Karen June 2018

“This is a beauty spacious house, set just off the road, but you feel like you’re in woodland, from the moment we arrived we relaxed.”

There was five girls for a chilled out weekend, at no time did we feel on top of each other. The hot tub was lovely, the beds were comfy, sofas perfect, bathrooms relaxing, kitchen stocked with ever item needed, the house was so clean, the towels were fluffy, nice blankets on the sofa the list just goes on with how lovely the house is. I can not recommend this house enough :) Local Chinese is really tasty.

- Karen, June 2018

Francis May 2018

“The cottage was very good, comfortable, and in very good order, a nice setting , very quite.”

As my wife was in a wheelchair, our access was by the patio doors, which had a step and thrash hold to get over. IWe managed reasonably wekk but would have been nice to have a portable ramp to make it easer. Our host was very helpful. Our thanks to her,. We would happily stay her again in the future.

- Francis, May 2018

Beautiful cottage that had everything we needed. Kids loved the hot tub! Would happily stay again when we are next in the area.

- Ellie, April 2018
Amanda February 2018

“The cottage is lovely , well equipped and comfortable .”

Only downside I can think of is walking anywhere from there means going down a main road . If you have a car it's perfectly located for short drive into Norwich and lots to do and see in the local area . Owner and housekeeper were super kind and helpful and nothing was too much trouble !

“We had a lovely weekend over New Year at the cottage which exceeded our expectations.”

The cottage is finished to high standards and is extremely clean and cosy. The log burner and hot tub are great extras. The owners were very helpful if we needed them. Lots of games, books and films to keep the whole family entertained. Would recommend the park and ride nearby to get into Norwich city centre.

Clare November 2017

“We had a fantastic stay at Oak Tree Lodge.”

We wanted somewhere comfortable with a hot tub for a relaxing girls weekend to catch up and do some crafting. The open living area was lovely and comfortable. The bedrooms were very comfortable and a fantastic size. The only small gripes we had were that the oven was not the greatest, perhaps a temperature issue, even putting it on a low temperature burnt our food very quickly, and the dishwasher wasn't able to clean most of the dishes so we had to rewash most of it. But despite those couple of grumbles all 3 of us thought the cottage was brilliant and would be keen to return for another girls weekend and I'd be keen to return with my family too. The hot tub was great treat too, even in the cold wet weather it was lovely to sit outside in. Thoroughly recommend this cottage.

- Clare, November 2017
Maggie August 2017
