“Cottage accessible from main roads and other houses / farms about but there was a sense of remoteness, lovely.”

Owners nearby but they had a very light touch and were absolutely not intrusive. Heating system particularly responsive and effective. We would certainly like to visit again.

“The owners of the property Jonathan and Louise are very friendly, helpful and laid back.”

The cottage is extremely comfortable and well equipped. All rooms are lovely. It’s perfect and there’s loads of information, dvds and books on what to see and do in the area. Loved it

“The cottage was beautifully furnished, well equipped and in a perfect location for exploring.”

We particularly enjoyed the many cycles paths on the doorstep. Louise made us feel very welcome and we were grateful for the little extras including a bottle of fizz on arrival!

“We had a lovely time at The Old Byre, we took the dog and had permission to take our parrot.”

Such lovely touches with the prosecco and scones, wine which you can use (and replace). Our hosts were super friendly and you could want for nothing there. I brought all the extra things I thought I might need (due to the pandemic) but these were not necessary as they had thought of everything.

“What a smashing couple Jon and Lou are.”

Real peoples people. The cottage was lovely and just as we expected, the gardens were beautiful. The scones jam and cream was a nice touch on arrival and didn’t last long lol. We understand that Jon and Lou had only recently taken over at Coward Lake Farm and we wish them every success for the future.
