Yet again another wonderful week (our 9th). The weather was kind and we spent time out and about . We do not go very far as there is everything we could possibly need on our doorstep! Logan really enjoyed the Basketball and Football Game. Thank you also for including us in your 10th Anniversary Celebrations up at the Cabin, bubbles and all! Already looking forward to 2024 – TWO WEEKS NEXT TIME!!!
Marlene, Keith, Llian and Logan from Market Deeping - August 2023Sue and Jonah, you have made the Cottage and grounds such a beautiful and peaceful space, we felt no need to venture further afield. Take care, stay safe and we will see you when the ‘Bluebells Bloom’ next year!

Dawn, John, Kate, Emma and Ernie the Schnauzer - June / July 2023Thank you Sue & Jonah for another wonderful week after our first visit in August last year. The Cottage and your land are just wonderful and the Cream Tea on arrival very welcoming. We have done plenty of walks in the local area and Llansteffan Beach and the Coastal Path is a real gem. The food in Pengawse Tea Rooms was as good as we remembered and the pasties from the Bakery also recommended. Thank you for making a holiday possible in these difficult times. We will return again!
