"Really lovely cottage. Very clean. Lovely idyllic location. Very quiet and peaceful. The game changer was the dome around the hot tub. Great for freezing cold / rainy days. Underfloor heating was also amazing!!!" Holly - Nottingham  "Fantastic set up, beautiful views, warm and cosy, immaculately clean, great facilities ! Spent a Galantines weekend here with 5 friends! It was a perfect venue, despite the cold weather and snow, the hot tub with domed cover was amazing and the fire pit was the icing on the cake. The temperature of the cottage was perfect, it was fully equipped with everything you could need and and the lay out made it the perfect venue for our plans! Highly recommended!"
