    “The cottage was lovely, spotlessly clean, had everything we could possibly need, and more!”

    We also loved the garden, it was well-maintained and the perfect place to sit with a morning cup of tea or evening drink. The welcome pack is a lovely addition. The only slight drawback is the low doorway heights - my husband took a few knocks to the head before he remembered to duck! It was a privilege to stay in a traditional cottage which has been thoughtfully modernised but still shows its links to the past.

    Thank you very much for the 100% review. I am glad that you enjoyed the cottage and the garden. Being 6ft, I have also fallen victim to the low doorways, the folks were definitely smaller in the 1830s! I do hope that we will be able to welcome you back to Ancient Lights in the future.
