    Beautiful setting, very spacious and comfortable. Clean and tidy with a lovely little kitchen & roomy bathroom. The main room was just gorgeous. Large open beams, a lovely seating area with TV, and a massive but more importantly very comfortable bed! There was also a single bed which our adult son slept in with no complaints. Jo, the owner, was lovely and welcoming, as were her gorgeous dogs. We only stayed one night and my only complaint is that we couldn't stay longer! Would highly recommend.

    Loved it all and we have no complaints but a coffee machine would have been a bonus or some ground coffee for the cafetière that was there. But amazing place and no complaints.

    Location was absolutely perfect and quiet, sun was out and the views were beautiful. They left bacon and bread for breakfast which was a lovely touch. I stayed with my 8 year old boy ready for Silverstone the next day which is only down the road. We do the trip annually to this car event so hopefully we’ll be back again next year for an amazing stay.

    There was nothing to dislike about the property. However, as the bedroom/sitting room was on the second floor, it would be unsuitable for some people. There was a one storey cottage next door for those unable to climb stairs.

    The location was ideal for our purpose: to visit family in Towcester. It was in a very peaceful setting despite being on a working farm. We enjoyed being surrounded by fields and farm animals. The cottage was cosy, comfortable and well appointed. There was a welcome supply of milk, bread and bacon for breakfast. The host was very friendly and approachable.

    Property was quite cold (we discovered windows on vent the next morning which explained why). Prefer natural bedding (cotton sheets /duvet cover) and firmer pillows. Bedding had a strong scent (fabric softener) which is not something we like.

    Well equipped property, great amenities in a quiet location. Kitchen had a tea selection, coffee, bread, milk and bacon for breakfast which was unexpected and a very nice touch. Keys readily available despite our late arrival so we were in the property within moments of arriving. Property felt very spacious and shower was a great size.

    My girlfriend really, really loved the bed, it was the night sleep we needed before our Silverstone running event. When we arrived there was a small bottle of milk and some bacon in the fridge for us to use and bread, tea and coffee were also available. We really enjoyed the remoteness and quietness of the location, as we both live in a big city (London/Antwerp), this was just the retreat we needed before our event. We cocooned in the living/sleeping room after making diner in the full kitchen and just hang on the sofa watching Formula 1 and some Sky with our diner and a couple of beers.
