Great location. Lovely bungalow
Great stay but not entirely suitable for a wheelchair. Had to remove the rims from my chair and two small steps inside were a bit annoying but nevertheless we will be back. Booking agent fee was excessive adding almost £100 to the cost

Location excellence
We have had an amazing week in this spacious yet cosy cottage. It was spotlessly clean with lots of homely comfort. The hosts Dawn and Phillip were so friendly and available at all times if needed. The location was fab for us and the wildlife around the cottage was amazing. Hope to go back again.

Great house in excellent location
We had a great stay at Elderflower Cottage. A warm welcome from our hosts started off the break and the cottage gave us plenty of comfort and space. Very well equipped kitchen and lots of hot water. Great location for exploring the area, many thanks Dawn!
