Fantastic stay at the owl cottage!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the owl cottage. The owner Sue, was very welcoming, communicative and always at hand. The cottage itself was very clean, welcoming and overall, a great place to stay containing all that was needed and more. We also enjoyed the company of the farm's pet animals! Thank you to Sue for the freshly baked brownies and other additionals, they were much appreciated!

Fantastic family stay

This is the second time visiting Owl cottage and I’m sure it won’t be the last. Accommodation is clean and welcoming. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked with everything you could need to prepare large family meals. The touches on arrival such as milk and home made cakes were lovely. Everyone in the party had a great stay.

Fab week away

This lovely house was just what it said on the tin. It was large, well equipped and very clean when we arrived. The owners left us milk, orange, butter,bread , ham, milk and eggs for when we arrived which was unexpected but lovely. We had ordered afternoon tea and cookies which were Devine and just what we needed on our arrival. The owners were very welcoming on our arrival and then didn’t bother us unless we asked them for help/advice. I would really recommend a stay here. Thanks again for everything

Immaculate property with wonderful hosts

We had such a lovely stay at Sue’s cottage. The property was beautifully furnished and was one of the most well-equipped holiday houses I have stayed in. The kids loved being on the farm and visiting the pigs and alpacas each day. They also loved the swing ball and big box of outdoor toys in the courtyard. Overall, a wonderful holiday.

Fabulous Cottage

We stayed on Owl Cottage for a long weekend. It is beautifully presented and tastefully decorated with lots of little extras included to make the stay all the more welcoming. Sue is a lovely host and was on hand to help with anything if needed. There was even food in the fridge and homemade cupcakes to welcome us. The cottage is in a a pleasant spot - very handy for visiting the surrounding area. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this cottage to anyone who needed a place to stay in this area and would definitely return ourselves.

Weekend stay

On arrival, we were welcomed by Sue, who showed us the property and stated that the food and drink, wine and cakes, at the house were ours to be used as we wished. The rooms were clean and the beds comfortable. There was a box of toys outside of which the children made much use of. Overall a very enjoyable stay. Thank you Sue.

Beautiful Accommodation!

Stopped with family over 5 nights and cannot recommend Owl Cottage more highly. Plenty of room for the 5 adults and 1 child who stayed, the cottage had everything you could need and has a high quality finish. But it was the little touches that were so thoughtful, a basket with essentials and some treats was provided for our arrival. Absolutely excellent value for what we paid and we would all return.
