Cottage Grading: We carefully select and regulary inspect the cottages on our books to ensure high standards. However the true test is what you, our clients, think of them.
YOU GRADE OUR COTTAGES ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 5 ON TWO CRITERIA

Each cottage description shows up to 5 of these symbols, providing you with a scale of excellence based on previous clients' satisfaction.

We review the grading of each cottage annually using the questionnaires returned by clients after their holidays. If you receive one please let us know your opinion.
