Lovely venue, great facilities and had a great time. Just disappointed that we weren't able to find any recycling bins and not even compost, particularly since the grounds could easily have had its own compost patch.

We had a wonderful stay at Walk fam cottages. We were a large family group of 22. Each cottage was lovely and clean, good size kitchens, well equipped. The house is full of character and rustic. Plenty of space to eat outside, play games, BBQs, hot tub, lovely walks, we even hired a long boat for the day from the marina which is 4 mins walk away. The owner was so helpful and went out of her way to ensure we enjoyed our stay. The weather was sunny which helped a lot. We will definitely be returning.

Lovely warm cosy cottage. Dog friendly with walks from the door.
Spotlessly clean, and exemplary attention to detail ref Covid 19, we could not have felt safer. Thank you for a lovely stay

What a wonderful venue! Charming accommodation, beautiful grounds, lovely walks nearby, great value for money - just about perfect. The children in our family group couldn't have been happier. Our hostess was friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was relaxed. Highly recommended.....
