We recently stayed here for three nights with the family - three generations all together! The place is stunning, much nicer inside than the photos suggest, which was a lovely surprise. Gail was super friendly and really attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The hamper on arrival was a nice touch. The hot tub was definitely a highlight, so relaxing! Overall, we had an amazing time and would definitely come back. Highly recommend!

Alex

The cottage was lovely, the host was really friendlyand the setting was simply perfect. We loved it!

Sam

Honestly, Rookery Cottage was just perfect for our stay. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how spotless and stylish everything was. It really did go beyond what we expected in terms of comfort and quality. The house was surprisingly well equipped-spare toothbrushes, fluffy towels, biscuits, coffees-you name it. Gail, our host, was fantastic-so helpful and friendly. Everything was so great, we've already booked again for next Christmas. Can't wait to come back!

James

We had a fantastic time staying at this beautifully converted barn. Everything was spotlessly clean when we arrivedand it's clear a lot of thought went into the details - from the well-equipped kitchen to the comfy bathrobes. They even decorated it for Christmas with a tree and trimmings, which made it extra special. The owner was really attentive and quick to answer any questions. Overall, a lovely breakand we'd definitely recommend staying here!

Emily

From the moment we arrived, it felt like a home away from home. Gail, the owner, was incredibly attentive and even adjusted the house temperature just for us - super thoughtful! The doggie field was a blessing, so we didn't have to worry about our dog wandering off. The location itself is stunning, peacefuland perfect for walks. We honestly can't recommend this place enough. Definitely a stay to remember. We'll be back for sure!

Emma

We loved the converted barn! It's beautifully done, super comfyand perfect for our dog with a nice field to run in. The owners are so friendly and left a lovely hamper for us. The horses overlooking the farm added a charming touch. Definitely recommending this place to friends!
