Great value and great weekend away

Our second time here and definitely not our last, everything you need for a comfortable weekend away. We love the location, the DVD collection, the hot tub and the log fires. Wish we could stay for longer! Really good value too. Thanks x

Lovely setup with everything you could need for longer stays. Tricky to find with Google though. A real plus was being able to see the stars, which was incredible, from the hot tub. Thank you.

Just got back from a weekend here and wow so quiet and peaceful. Hot tubs amazing. Went with 2 kids. 14 and 5 and both loved it. Forest on your door step literally. Gill looked after us and let the kids have an extra hour in bed on checkout day. Will be booking to go again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a treat

Fantastic property and host. We arrived just after chick in time, the hot tub was ready and up to temperature for us to use it straight away if we like, with complimentary spa dressinggowns and slippers. Also there were complimentary teas and coffies, bred jam and butter, milk and watter. We had always had enough logs for our fire and there were even dog treats for our little pet.

Lovely tranquil cottage with hot tub

As a last minute decision to stay overnight before going to flamingo land I am so glad we chose middle head cottages. Hosts were fantastic despite us being late and getting lost, cottage had everything you needed and was very comfortable. The hot tub was on and ready for us to use as soon as we got there and the house was lovely and cosy.
