Lydgate Cottage is the most idyllic and beautiful cottage we have ever stayed in. Well equipped for both us and our dogs, and just so cosy. There is even a dog wash for muddy paws after a walk.Owners were so helpful and friendly and at hand if we needed them. Perfect location with some beautiful walks starting at the cottage. We had the most wonderful stay, all the extra touches were very much appreciated. We have already recommended to a few of our friends. Will definitely be booking for another week again next winter. Thank you for making our holiday perfect
Andrew
Perfect little cottage in a great location. Loved the hot tub after a days walking.
Real good all round. I personal didnt find the bed comfortable. Felt like one side of the mattress fell away
Joanne
The cottage was beautifully presented with everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Some lovely little touches like the dressing gowns and slippers were most welcoming along with the fizz, basket of goodies and of course the hot tub. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves exploring some really lovely walks during the week and we would like to think that we will be back again next year.
Melissa
We had the most amazing stay at Lydgate, perfect for small families or couples. There were four of us dog but our youngest refuses to sleep by themselves The kitchen is well stocked, we took our our dog bowls but there was actually some already there. When we arrived there was a basket with some welcome items in, some milk in the fridge and a bottle of fizz that was extremely appreciated after our drive! I loved the small touches like the books on the shelves from and about the local area as well as the dressing gowns, and some spare slippers, which were great for wet feet and on the flag stone floors. There was also baskets of blankets and a log bucket for the fire which we made full use of, and the fire was especially nice after coming inside from the hot tub! We made full use of the hot tub in the afternoons and evenings, after taking the dog out on a walk, which there was plenty of locally. Incredible stay, and while we were there we tried to add on a some additional days but unfortunately couldnt get the availability with hubs work. Would recommend and most definitely would return.
