We had a fabulous weekend stay in Damselfly (Toad cottage). We were a group of 5 and had plenty of room. The setup was great, spotlessly clean and the hot tub was a great addition. Comfortable beds, great to have 3 bathrooms for the 5 of us and the kitchen was very well appointed. The wood burner was also a big bonus especiallly after a dip in the Read morepond! The gym was a big surprise - lots of excellent equipment to use. The grounds were immaculate and we loved the donkeys!! Well be back!! Hide

A well organised cottage in relaxing surroundings. The pool is tranquil all be it unheated but was enjoyable on warmer days. We soon warmed back up in the hottub. The gym is very well equipped too. Owner is welcoming and my children loved the animals.

!SELECTED!The Damselfly Retreat!ENDOFSELECTED! is fantastic. It's in beautiful surroundings and very private, with plenty of parking. The lodge itself is stunning. The rooms are spacious with lots of storage space and bathroom facilities for each room. The living room is very cosy, and it was so warm, without even using the log fire. The kitchen waRead mores well equipped and spacious, with a big dining table. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay over Christmas, making memories with our family. Would highly recommend, and would love to go back Hide
