Spotlessly clean, well presented and fragranced.
Spotlessly clean, well presented and fragranced. Hot tub brilliant to relax in and stargaze. Fab welcome hamper, very thoughtful and useful.A couple of baking trays in the kitchen were very worn (luckily there was tin foil)A lovely place to stay, out of the way which meant it was quiet and no light pollution.Beware of the upstairs ceilings if you are tall!

We've just been away for a week, 15-22 February. The cottage was beautiful and clean couldn't ask for anything more. The couple were really nice and helpful always asking if we were happy. The location is good, nice walks round the lanes. The hot tub was added luxury, very peaceful surroundings too

Trying to get away with baby and dog 🐕 ant the most relaxing holiday but Alder lodge really made us feel at home! The owners left us a gorgeous hamper with all the things we forgot including dog treats! Cottage was clean and nicely decorated! And the bonus was the enclosed garden for the dog to run free! We will definitely be visiting again! Great spot to travel from too! Lots of great locations around! Thanks Alder lodge x

Absolutely loved our long weekend here.
Absolutely loved our long weekend here. Our 3 year old beagle could safely have the run of the property, and me wife and I couldn't have been more relaxed in the hot tub in the sun had we tried! The owners respected our privacy, and the little touches they'd left in the property (flowers on arrival, a welcome basket, a dog bowl with fresh water on a hot day, the lasagne dish) were brilliant.

We have just returned home from a fabulous stay at Alder Lodge.
Myself, My Husband & 5yr old daughter loved every minute, The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable relaxing holiday. We were even welcomed with a lovely basket of goodies which I felt was a lovely touch. The necessity’s such as Milk, Sugar, Tea, Coffee, Butter and Washing up liquid we’re also provided which I felt was a lovely touch.
The cottage is well looked after and spotlessly clean. The owners were very welcoming & polite and ensured we had everything we needed upon check in but also respected our privacy to enjoy our time there.
We definitely recommend and look forward to returning in the near future.
