We stayed in Kings Cottage South for 4 weeks whilst building works were carried out on our home. We could not have asked for more. The Cottage was beautifully decorated and extremely warm and comfortable. Underfloor heating , and normal radiator heating meant we barely used the woodburner but logs were free to take from the log store if required at any point and were regularly being filled by the gardeners who were both very friendly and offering any help if required. They volunteered to block a hole in the hedge for our dog as we were staying a month and also attended to the gravel path and gardens twice a week. The beds were all excellent quality and very comfortable. The kitchen was superbly equipped with the luxury of two dishwashers. The Everhot was a joy to cook on and there was also an integrated oven too plus induction within the Everhot. The cleaners came and did a change over halfway through and cleaned from top to bottom very efficiently and changed all beds. Excellent sized fridge-freezer. Deceptively large. Spacious and well designed bedrooms and bathrooms. Sweet welcome pack of honey and luxury chocolate biscuits and all dishwasher tablets, cloths, bin bags, hand soap, cleaning products and even toilet rolls included plus essentials kitchen items such as oil, salt and pepper. If only all holiday cottages were run properly this way!! Would not hesitate to recommend. Definitely 5 stars. The owner Fiona was really kind and we could not have asked for a more lovely host. Thank you so so much. Suitably named and most definitely fit for a King!!!

Beautiful inside and out. Very comfy bed, which rewarded us with a very sound sleep. The furnishings were of very good quality. Very pretty village and an outstanding area. Great location for exploring the history of a wide area.
