    “I have stayed in many holiday lets over the years and I have to say Flintstones truly deserves to be labelled outstanding.”

    The cottage itself is spacious and outstandingly clean. Then there is a fantastic garden that wraps itself around the property. The garden must have taken a lot of thought and hard work. I would absolutely highly recommend Flintstones for a relaxing and very comfortable stay.
