Thanks for a great stay over the record breaking hot bank holiday weekend! Pippin cottage was perfect for our break, high quality fittings and furnishings, beautiful surroundings and everything you could need for a relaxing holiday. Kate was a wonderful host and greeted us on arrival. She was very flexible to our needs and quick to respond to any questions. I can recommend the Poppe in which was within walking distance, good food and really friendly staff. Hope to see you again.
