We stayed at Observatory Cottages for our wedding accommodation and was impressed from arrival. East close access to shops, clean and secluded and perfect amenities for a relaxing, comfortable stay. Milk, bread and water/juices provided unexpectingly which was a bonus so breakfast and snacks sorted. Keep up the great effort !!

We stayed 1 night and the suite was brilliant. Clean and tidy with little unexpected touches like all the stuff for breakfast in the fridge and waiting. The late checkout was great and we'll certainly be back. Thanks for a great night away :)

Lovely relaxing property, well stocked with supplies. Garden needed some weeding. An additional bench in the bathroom would have been handy and perhaps a wide vision mirror at the entrance would also improve safety, not that we had any issues - just feedback.

The cottage was perfect. Everything was thoroughly thought of- from breakfast ingredients to candles. The cottage itself is very homely and private. The communication between the host was fantastic with prompt replies.Will definitely be coming here again.
