Such a lovely cottage, very well equipped and comfy beds. The village is quaint with thatched cottages and nice welcoming pub with good food. Well stocked village shop with local produce. Great base for exploring. Lovely sunny garden and conservatory. Great for relaxing after a day out and about. ...

It's rare for me to give a 5 star review but Ivy Cottage was really spot on - super comfortable, clean and well equipped - and the secure garden was brilliant for the dog.

Ivy Cottage was very easy to settle into - parking right outside the front door, lots of storage space and a nice, lawned garden for our two pugs to enjoy running around in. The whole cottage felt nice and warm, and the log burner was a welcome addition on the cold evenings. The smart TV, induction hob and shower were all excellent too. We enjoyed a late Sunday lunch and lunch again on Monday at the Fox and Hounds, where the staff were very kind to our dogs, one of whom is a fairly nervous rescue dog. We hope to return....

Ivy Cottage is without doubt the best provisioned cottage I have ever stayed in. Very comfortable, lovely local pub and shop, and lots of places to visit. Everyone was very friendly.
