    “Carthorse Cottage suited our multigenerational family of 6 adults and 4 children.”

    The children lived being in the pool everyday and the adults played Pool in the games room. We had 2 successful BBQs, eating outside which was wonderful. Thank you to Julie and Phil who provided a lovely welcome food pack and resolved a couple of issues very swiftly. The children loved meeting your chickens and dogs.
