    A lovely farm stay with all you could need and more. We only stayed 1 night but the host had left plenty of extra drinks and food that we were welcome to help ourselves to. Such a lovely touch and made us feel right at home!

    We had a lovely stay at Duck Cottage. The property was well set up with everything you could need, plus a few luxuries. Our 1 year old loved the enclosed back yard and visiting the farm animals. Would definitely stay again!

    Excellent, roomy cottage to the side of the main house. Stayed for work but arrived late and had to leave early so didn't get to enjoy the property. Would definitely recommend & would look to book here again when next in the area
