Awarded Certificate of Excellence on Trip Advisor, guests who have stayed at Herb Cottage have commented: "Our 3 night stay at Herb cottage in early September was as magical as the last time 2 years ago. Suzanne is a wonderful and friendly host, very accommodating, and knowledgeable about the surrounding area." "We stayed for 5 nights, it was just wonderful. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city. A peaceful, restful time. Suzanne, the perfect hostess willing to help at every turn." "We stayed at Herb Cottage for the weekend with our two close friends and had a very warm welcome from Suzanne who is absolutely charming, as is her lovely home. Breakfast was delicious, homemade fruit compote, yoghurts, muesli, and a full English if we wanted, the scrambled eggs were excellent. The views from the bedroom windows are of rolling countryside, rabbits and birds, really delightful. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you Suzanne."
