Wonderful cottage . The best equipped we have ever stayed in and spotlessly presented.

Lime Trees is a comfortable, clean and very well-equipped property (in fact, one of the best equipped places we have ever stayed in) in lovely, quiet rural surroundings. There is a great variety of interesting places to visit in all directions or you can just relax, listen to the birds and watch them on the bird feeder outside the window.

This is our 3rd visit, this is an ideal cottage for my parents both in their late 80's. Emily thank you for everything. We were advised about the building work in the property across the lane, if you are out all day the builders don't start before 8 and are gone by 4.

Clean, well equipped and comfortable cottage. Nearby building works were not a problem at all. Well positioned to visit several National trust properties. Thanks for the milk, chocolates and jaffa cakes!

A lovely cottage set in quiet, pretty surroundings. Easy to get to most places apart from the local village due to the road being closed which meant a 6 mile detour but that is not the owners fault. The building work was not a problem. Minimal noise when we were there. Very comfortable, well equiped and spacious cottage. Emily came on first morningRead more to check we were happy and to welcome us which was very nice as were the Chocolates, fresh eggs from her hens and milk awaiting on our arrival. Would thoroughly recommend. Hide

This is a beautiful cottage and a quiet location. Emily is a friendly and helpful host. I would recommend this cottage. I will be back this time bringing my elderly parents who would love the walk in showers and comfy chairs.
