Cottage is lovely, however had an issue where the WiFi didn’t work for three days of our stay meaning we had to upgrade phone data just to stay in touch! However, hot tub was lovely and the cottage was very clean and comfy. Only improvement would be a bigger sofa as we both struggled to get comfy on that!

A very good cottage - warm, comfortable, attractively furnished and reasonably well equipped. The immediate location is alright, with pleasant views over the surrounding countryside but the village itself is fairly bleak with no shop although an excellent restaurant.

We loved our holiday at Hall Farm Cottage! It is a lovely cottage that has everything you could need and a few added touches as well. The staff are lovely and helpful and the cottage itself is very comfortable and clean. We had full WiFi and both televisions we could watch Netflix on which we loved as in other places we have visited we have struggled with signal/entertainment. The food in The Thomas Wright House is delicious and definitely worth a visit. We will definitely be coming back to this cottage as we loved every minute and didn’t want to come home!

Absolutely wonderful, couldn't ask for any more, the local people were extremely friendly and welcoming. The cottage itself is well equipped and cosy with its log burner, so much so we didn't want to leave. The hot tub was the icing on the cake, superb in every way. Will be booking again next year

The cottage was spacious, well-equipped, tidy and comfortable.
The cottage was spacious, well-equipped, tidy and comfortable. We liked the added extras of the welcome pack, hot tub and log burner, with a fire already set and additional supplies provided. The location is quiet with walks from the doorstep and occasional buses during the day to nearby towns. Thomas Wright house in the village serves food daily and there are a variety of meals available. The Royal Oak pub is also close by and serves 1 real ale which is very reasonably priced. Overall a lovely place to stay. Keep an eye out for the barn owl early evening.
