The whole experience was fantastic and the host was right at the end of communication whene needed.
Loved the place, shower was the best l’ve ever had in all my stays. The hot tub was so therapeutic especially the powerful massage l got from it having driven from Surrey. The whole experience and stay was top notch. Didn’t find any restaurants nearby which is not the host responsibility.

Excellent Accommodation
This is the 2nd time we have visited but under new owners. Can honestly say that the communication from Zoe was brilliant. All texts and emails I sent were answered very quickly. Updating us and keeping us informed of local places to visit, directions and a lovely welcome pack of chocolates, milk, juice and tea and coffee etc was waiting for us... Lovely thought to walk into. Heating on , towels, extra bits in the food cabinet and all you need for washing up. The whole place was immaculately clean and comfortable and the hot tub is an amazing extra. Have to try it. Even on a chilly day. Will definitely be returning for maybe even longer break. Thanks for the loan of your beautiful home. X

This is a hidden gem
This property exceeded all expectations, this is a beautiful property and pictures just doesn’t do it justice. It’s very nice and spacious and the bedroom is so cosy. The highlight was obviously the hot tub and the fire place, having all these things for that price, not only is it an absolute bargain but it was genuinely amazing. The hot tub was so relaxing in the evening and you get a lovely view of the stars. I would highly recommend going here before it’s always booked up. I was here for 4 nights and wished I stayed for longer. You’ll definitely need a car but because of its location but there are so many things accessible to you from a driving distance. I will definitely be coming back in the future. Zoe & James, you guys have done well with this property.

A lovely honeymoon get away
My husband and I booked Casita Lodge for our honeymoon. The cottage is wonderful and incredibly romantic with its hot tub and log burner. Zoe and James were quick to respond when the gate refused to lock and checked the hot tub levels daily. The location is nice, however you do have to drive to a lot of places, as this beautiful cottage is rather secluded and a bit of a trek to most places to eat or other experiences.
