2 couples and 2 lively dogs 😊 we had a lovely weekend in Jeans cottage. It was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. Jean was very helpful with advice and recommendations. Would definitely stay here again.
This was a great cottage. Plenty of room for a family of four. A good base for some days out in the area and perfect for a day in too. Jean was a wonderful host. Everything was explained via email before so we exactly what to expect and notes at the property so we knew what was expected and how to use everything.
Having the outside area to sit in the sun and enjoy a bbq made a few of our evenings.
This was a short notice break for family reasons. The property was excellent for our purposes and the welcome was very friendly, inclding for our dog.
The property was comfortable and the facilities excellent, Things like the WiFi worked well.
The outside area is secure and this is essential for dogs.
There is a good range of instructions for appliances etc and this was very helpful.
All in all, Foresters Cottage is an excellent place to stay.
