Rydal getaway

Beautiful little cottage with all you need. Great set up in kitchen. Next we will just cook from here, so well set up. Great home away from home. Very cosy with lots of spots to stop and relax inside and outside. Host have thought of everything. Thank you Lisa and Ben for a great anniversary weekend away.

The perfect country getaway

Loved everything about the place. Old world charm but with great amenities and absolutely beautiful gardens. Lisa a terrific host and made us feel very welcome with clear instructions and a spotlessly clean house. Very comfortable and the perfect country getaway with lovely surrounding area. Already looking forward to booking again and coming back in winter so we can enjoy the fireplace!

Pure serenity at the old oak cottage

We arrived after dark on friday night to find the cottage warm and cozy. From the moment we pulled into the driveway to see the little cottage all lit up waiting for our arrival, we felt welcome. The next morning opening the curtains we were met with a beautiful sight. The grounds of the cottage are absolutely gorgeous. We spent many hours next to the babbling brook reading in the warm winter sun. Late afternoon we headed inside to sit by the fire and relax. The cottage was well kitted out with everything we needed. No detail was spared. The beds were comfy and cozy with electric blanks to keep us snug. The kitchen was fully equiped with everything imaginable and then some. The owner was so lovely, leaving fresh bread,eggs and a bottle of wine for us to enjoy. We were sad to leave and come home, honestly this cottage is the most charming place we have stayed. We loved it so much we are just about to book our next stay. 10/10 highly recommended.
