Made our New Year Extra Special.

“We have just had the most fabulous stay at Cornerstone Cottage. I would highly recommend this place.

It was perfect for kids with lots of things to do. The free pool and spa pass was great and we liked the option of the heated outdoor pool too, even if it was December.

The cottage was so well-equipped and Tim and Vanessa were excellent hosts and extremely friendly and helpful.

It’s such a beautiful place to stay, it Made our New Year Extra Special. Definitely 5 Star”
