What our guests say about us

Just a few comments form our Guest Book over the last year! We converted an old Granary at Low Penhowe in 1986 and have since refurbished throughout. We hope to welcome you to either Derwent or Primrose Cottage and for you to become another one of our happy guests!
Derwent Cottage
Another really enjoyable stay at Derwent Cottage. We all love it here, the views are amazing and Edward loves feeding the chickes and cows. Derwent Cottage has everything you need and more. We will definitely be back again soon!!
The Hickey family, Brixworth, Northampton
Thanks for a cosy, warm and well equipped cottage. One of the best we have stayed in. Also thanks for the goodies on arrival & the welcoming letter prior to arrival. Lovely area and great shopping in York. Derwent Cottage provided a peaceful break from the pressures of work.
Graham and Marilyn Oates, Warton, Preston
Yet another great week in this idyllic cottage. The world is left behind as the batteries are recharged. It’s a pity when it comes to an end and we have to rejoin the world! Ben and Scooby loved the beaches again. We loved the welcome we received.
Dave and Chris Beeby, Coalville, Leicestershire
We arrived on a chilly dark winters evening, what a wonderful welcome, a cosy beautiful cottage with a fantastic open fire to help us thaw ou. Archie has spent every evening gazing into the fire while we pop him into his pyjamas before going to bed. We have had a lovely break and so looking forward to returning perhaps in the summer to really appreciate this beautiful part of the world.
Alan, Anne and Archie Buchanan, Edinburgh, Scotland
Back for the ninth time and still finding things to do. Kids have enjoyed walking the dogs, feeding the chickens and cattle and of course the the games room. I still can’t get used to that glourios view every time step outside the door. The weather has been sizzling, every day in the 80’s.
David, Tania, Joshua and Abigail Harris, Alderley Edge, Cheshire
Primrose Cottage
Our 21st year – this makes 70 weeks! Weather and cottage fantastic but our hosts just make the perfect holiday.
Roy and Pat Glasspool, Whitley Bay, Tyne and Weir
Delightful in every way, cottage well equipped and comfortable, weather beautiful and a warm welcome. Definitely worth the 12,000 mile trip!
The Froggatt family, Queensland Austrialia
We really enjoyed the holiday. There was everthing we could have needed. We didn’t want to go home! I loved helping. We are going to miss all the animals. Mum wants to take one of the Highland Cattle home. We are going to miss it here
Sarah, Pauline, Andrew and Matty Jewers, Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne
We could never thank you enough for the kindness and help offered when Harvey our Golden Retriever was ill. A truly memorable week in outstanding accommodation. Yorkshire is great.
The Bunn family, Orpington, Kent
Lovely cosy cottage, loveley hosts too! Had a great week, weather was great, went to Scarborough and we all came back sunburnt! The week went far too quickly
