    This was our fourth visit to the cottages and hoping, if all remains well, that we will visit again next year. These cottages are perfect for a break if you have a family member, partner or friend with a disablity. The cottages are well equipped and there's good access to laundry facilities, should you need it during your stay. It's also easy to request any specific equipment you may need in advance, there's no additional cost for equipment, it's all factored in . The cottages are lovely and quiet The grounds around the cottages are pretty, there are wheelchair friendly benches and tables, access to a BBQ area and a small play park should you need it. Not forgetting all the bird feeders and the mass of visiting small garden birds that come and go all day long, lovely to watch from the cottage. There is lots to do around the surrounding areas, however, you will definitely need a car to get about. Maggie and her team long with the amazing volunteers who help run and maintain the cottages are the real deal. Nothing is a bother to them, they are all friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable regarding the surrounding area. We would highly recommend a visit and hope to be back in 2026.
