  As veterans of stays at Grove Cottages varied selections, we have once again had a very enjoyable stay at The Tryst. Loved the Aga and the cosy atmosphere of the cottage. The garden is delightful. Lovely village and eating options and everyone so friendly and helpful.

• Friday, 16th of February, 2018, Helen, Roger & Sam:
  

  We had the most relaxing and enjoyable time - so cosy and welcoming with so many thoughtful touches. Wood burning stove and Aga were a joy to use, and the roll top bath! Local butchers incredibly helpful. Could have happily stayed another week. Look forward to next time. Big thanks.

  Our second stay at this gorgeous cottage and we were not disappointed.
