Juliet, Pav, Felix and Mannie. London April 2014Dear Sue, Jonah, Teddy and Barney, thank you so much for everything. I really felt at home here. I am going to miss you, the dogs, the cottage and everything here very very much. I hope I will see you again. Love Elin.
Elin from the Netherlands - August 2022A fabulous relaxing week, helped along by the beautiful sunshine. Gary had great fun metal detecting and he found a Roman Coin, George III 1/2 Penny, Victorian Penny and many artefacts spanning approximately 300 years! Ghost our Husky has left his ‘glitter’ in the woods for the birds to enjoy! A beautiful cottage, lovely and homely.
Lisa & Gary Smith and Dogs Ghost and Doris - March 2022Fabulous cottage with the most wonderful setting – views in every direction. Loved the paddock field and the little wood with its wooden cabin. Thoroughly enjoyed the Welcome Cream Tea. Sue and Jonah are wonderful, thoughtful hosts and we felt privileged to be able to stay in this wonderful cottage. Brynn and Ocea really enjoyed their holiday too, running and playing with Barney, Teddy and Simba. We feel completely rested and we were lucky with the weather.
Lindy, Stan, Lynne, Damian and Border Collies, Brynn and Ocea - May 2024We have had a lovely week unwinding. Sue and Jonah are wonderfully hospitable. Thank you for making us feel so welcome!
Abbie and Jon from Derby - July 2019Thank you both for your patience and understanding with Jasper. Us, the kids and the dog have had a fab time. The cottage and its’ history are amazing. The grounds are stunning and you have been amazing hosts. Hopefully Jaspers training works and next time, he will be able to play with your boys. Thanks for the lessons, maybe we will have our own air rifle next time? Already looking forward to our next visit.
Keeley, Donna, Seb, Frankie & Jasper from Birmingham - May 2025Here we are again! We love this place, Sue and Jonah. Thank you so much for making it a ‘Home from Home’. Despite the weather, we have walked miles – exploring Sarn Helen this time as well as old favourites. Thank you Barney and Ted for putting up with an over exuberant Flynn (on the naughty step for his predilection for digging)! Thank you Sue and Jonah and see you in October.
Angie, Alan and young Collie, Flynn plus Tanya for 1 Night from Cornwall - March 2023Once again, thank you for everything.

Rest easy Missy – you are in a beautiful place. x
