Emma

We stayed in this charming little cottage right next to a holiday parkand it was just perfect for us and the dogs. The garden was fully enclosed with a sturdy 4ft fence, so the pups could run around freely without us worrying. We loved taking long walks right from the doorstep-easily hitting over 5 miles each day without even trying! The beds were really comfyand there was plenty of storage in both bedrooms, which was handy. The hot tub was a lovely touch, though it could've been a bit hotter since we visited in mid-Octoberand you definitely felt the chill in the air. We did struggle a bit with the WiFi; no instructions, so we weren't sure if we were doing something wrongand couldn't get any digital channels. But honestly, it didn't bother us too much-we spent our time reading, chattingand just relaxing. All in all, a cracking weekendand we're already thinking about booking again next year!

Emma

We really enjoyed our stay here. The cottage is super peaceful and cosy, perfect for a relaxing break. The hot tub was definitely a highlight after exploring the nearby village and countryside. We'd love to return sometime soon, it's just such a lovely spot!

Graham

We found the cottage lovely-spotlessly clean, well stockedand in a peaceful spot next to the Old Bedford River. It's a real shame about the communication issues. It made the whole experience a bit more stressful than it should've been, which was disappointing. Otherwise, it's a pretty nice place to stay.

Alex

Lovely spot, peaceful setting, everything we needed was here.

Emma

The cottage was in a lovely spot, perfect for exploring the area, though a car is definitely essential. The local pub was mostly shut, so not much help there. It's quite dog-friendly, but we could still pick up a faint wet dog smell, probably because we're not dog owners ourselves. Watching the rabbits hop about outside was a real highlight!

Sam

The cottage was lovely, peaceful and well placed. Plenty of space with all the usual comforts. The hot tub was just right for cooling down and unwinding after a busy day.

Emma

Really enjoyed our stay, especially the peaceful setting. It's a shame the pub isn't open on Mondays or Tuesdays since we didn't want to cook, but overall, a lovely spot with friendly locals. Would definitely return.

Emma

The lodge was perfect for us and our dog, with a lovely garden. It's super clean, well-equippedand in such a peaceful spot.

Charlotte

We had such a lovely stay in this charming little cottage. Surprised by how modern everything felt, especially the dishwasher! The hot tub was a real highlight, with a cosy patio and a pretty view. The garden was secure, so our dogs could roam freely without worries. Honestly, we'd love to come back soon!
