We staged at the Gardners Cottage for 2 nights over Christmas. We were looking for a place where we could just laze around and do nothing (in comfort). It was the perfect location - like a secret garden! Our two year old loved the gardens to run around, the chickens, the cows you could occasionally see from the back fence, and the swimming pool. I loved the comfortable bedding, soft towels, giant bath and the gorgeous old trees in the garden. My husband loved the lounge and free netflix!
The kitchen was perfect for making all out meals and there was even a dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. It's got all the amenities packed into a small space but doesn't compromise on the feel of the place. Its perfectly laid out.
We were in walking distance to the local town and enjoyed the local street fair and boxing day markets. The first shop you come to is a supermarket which is very convenient.

Best of all we loved the attention to detail that Ellen gives to this cottage. The breakfast package included with the room is perfect, and there were even some homemade biscuits and a christmas pudding in the fridge!
She was very friendly host and we really enjoyed our stay.
