Our second stay at this beautiful property and hopefully not our last! If you’re after peace and tranquility then this is the place to go. The cottage is set in the woods on this beautiful estate. The interior is luxurious, very warm and welcoming. There was a delicious lemon drizzle cake waiting on the kitchen table, a bottle of wine and a number of other essentials which were most welcome. We have stayed in a number of Rural Retreat properties and they never disappoint.

Easy instructions to access the cottage. It is set in the most beautiful setting and hidden away. The cottage is a luxurious home from home and the welcome basket a lovely addition with a good selection of items. The whole cottage is so pretty with the log fire and the gardens in the spring summer would be a lovely area to use too. The bed and sofas are comfy and a good shower. The cottage provides good information on things in the local area and it was easy to get around from the site. We will be looking to return and maybe try another cottage on the site.

What a beautiful cottage set in a wonderful wooded area; and blessed isolation. Booking was easy, we phoned rather than booked on line, and the entrance to the park was easy via only one gate with the provided key code. Perfect for 2 people for the week and very comfortable and warm; there is a log fire but we did not need to use it in May. The welcome hamper was excellent and some stuff lasted almost the whole week. We especially enjoyed the lovely walks around the estate and the nearby lake. We talked to several staff members and gardeners while on our walks and all took the time to chat and give us information on the park; really nice. Lots of wildlife to watch while sitting outside the cottage and we very much enjoyed the many squirrels running around the grounds. We were lucky to have a beautiful weeks weather which made the holiday even better. Our visit coincided with the parks 'Spring Fling', which was not intentional, but while we did visit it it was not anywhere near the cottage so we still had peace. Gripes; none really but the outside garden furniture could do with being replaced and the listed sun loungers were not to be seen. So five stars and highly recommended if you want peace and quiet but with lovely walks; we have already booked for next year. Letitia and Simon.

This very well appointed and secluded cottage is just perfect for a romantic getaway. In late May, the woodland around it is bursting with colour from the rhododendrons and the scent of the azeleas is heavenly. With hardly another soul on the estate, we enjoyed the 1000 acres of parkland as if we owned it. The cottage is just right for 2 people with everything one needs. The bathroom is fabulous, spacious and designed for two. We had a lovely welcome pack of food on arrival and we had ordered a meal to be prepared for us by the on-site Brasserie restaurant, which was generous and tasty. Weston Park and Rural Retreats both excelled in providing this outstanding facility.
