Lovely cottage in which we've stayed many times. Unfortunately we were not able to access on arrival for nearly 2.5 hours as cleaning not complete......no apology or compensation provided by the letting company!

For the money Cornerstones was perfect. Quiet and beautiful location close to the Square & Compass pub. Very clean, well equipped and a fab garden. Better in reality than described in photos. You could find more modern places but at . Will definitely come again. Many thanks :)

Very homely and spacious cottage. Comfy sofas! Kitchen appliances were good quality. Lovely to have the table in the conservatory to use for games and jigsaws when the weather was poor. Great to have soap , dishwater tablets, teabags and biscuits provided. Overall a great cottage for a family.
