We had the most lovely country getaway staying at Martinsell Cottage. The surroundings are just magical- rolling hills, pine forest, trees losing the last of their autumn leaves. The children were thrilled to get the opportunity to feed the sheep and alpacas when we arrived, and enjoyed going to say hello to them each morning. We also enjoyed a short walk over the back fence and through the field to the ruins of an old cottage and the old schoolhouse.
The cottage itself was perfect for our needs, and although somewhat dated it seems to be well maintained and was impeccably clean. The kitchen was well supplied with cooking equipment and with 2 bathrooms the cottage would be suitable for two families staying together. The fireplace is a novelty for us and we enjoyed its cosiness. There was also an outdoor fire pit we could have used had we decided to.
We only stayed 2 nights but wish we could have stayed longer!
