“We have just returned after a lovely stay at Waggoner's cottage.”

Cottage is clean, comfortable and decor is tasteful. The owners are close at hand if you need them but they are not intrusive. The cottage is surrounded by fields and is lovely and peaceful. We have stayed a few times and highly recommend.

The hosts were very welcoming and there were some delicious cakes waiting for us which were scrumptious. The cottage was immaculate and very comfortable with everything that you would need for your holiday.

A great property, immaculately clean and kitted out with everything you could need.

We didn’t manage to fit everything we wanted to do into the week so are hoping to stay again later in the year.
