Lovely cottage, clean, well equipped, modern and thoughtfully and tastefully furnished. Nice breakfast, lovely garden to wander around in. Hosts are welcoming and helpful. The fire kept us comfy and warm on the cold July nights. There are extra heaters for when the fire is not going. Bed is comfortable and warm too. We had a lovely relaxing time here.

Jim and Mary are wonderful hosts. The cottage was very clean and is well laid out and had everything we needed. Whilst other heaters were there, we lit the wood burner, so we were very cosy and warm. Great location and handy for the local cafe in Woodbury and Geraldine not too far away.

The Garden Cottage is a well presented and comfortable place to stay. The wood burner makes it warm and cosy in winter. We enjoyed meals in Geraldine and at the good local cafe in Woodbury.....but could also self cater using the kitchen. There are beautiful stained glass windows in the St Thomas Church in the village. It was a joy to watch the birds feeding in the spacious garden. The hosts were very welcoming and I am sure we will visit again.

We could not have wished for anything more. A peaceful beautiful garden setting. The cottage was really great, thoughtful compact design that provided what we wanted. Lovely wood burner ensured we were cosy, and other facilities enhanced our stay. Loved the butlers sink and mini one in bathroom. Great shower. Our hosts were very thoughtful easy to talk to and checked we had all we needed. We would definitely come again!!!

Wonderful and well furnished cottage. Offers easy access to town while giving you the quietness of the countryside. The wooden fireplace really makes the cottage cozy, and a well appointed kitchen allows you to prepare meals. We had a restful stay there, the breakfast in the fridge was an appreciated extra touch. Thank you for hosting us!
