Lovely cottage

We spent 2 nights in Woodlands Cottage and loved it. It was spotlessly clean with new bathrooms and a well appointed kitchen. The directions sent in advance were great, as was the tip to use the shortcut through the woods to the local pub. For a local walk, the Bubwith Rail path was really nice.

Amazing

Such a beautiful location, house was perfect, my dog loved the freedom of the big garden, there were 6 of us staying and there was enough space for us all without having to get under each other’s feet, we all had a lovely stay. Can’t wait to get back there.
