  When the pressures of life start to build, I go to my 'favourites' where I'll find Grove Cottages. We've yet to repeat going to the same cottage simply because every cottage we've been to we've been 100% satisfied....and more! One day we may be disappointed, hopefully that's a long time ahead. Don't worry we'll tell you when it happens!!

Just perfect, we will return soon. The cottage exceeded our expectations. It's the kind of place you'd want to buy! Perfect amount of space, lovely nearby walks and gorgeous chickens with the perfect feeling of tranquility.

  First class accommodation. What a fantastic place to stay - we didn't want to go home. Skylarks is set in a beautiful location with absolutely everything we needed for a relaxing week away. We love the style of the barn, it is stylish, clean cosy and very well equipped. The beds were so comfortable and the outside area is a bonus especially the orchard and the option to get our own eggs from the chickens - our girls loved them. It really is a credit to you both. We are looking forward to returning.
