We arrived at Middle Holly Cottage late in the afternoon and were warmly welcomed by Ian. We found out later that Ian's wife was incapacitated after surgery, so he was holding the fort. This in no way seemed to effect the excellent service we recieved. Warm showers, large fluffy towels and everything was top class. Nothing was too difficult and... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Middle Holly Cottage. Ian and Hillary are so warm and friendly and the property itself is beautiful. Our bedroom was extremely well presented with a flat screen TV and the bath robes are a lovely touch. The cottage is set in a pretty garden with lovely views and the breakfast is to die for!!!...

My golfing friends and I have stayed here about four times over the last two years when we have been golfing in the area. It is without doubt a superb place to stay. The rooms and breakfast are top class. Ian and Hilary are great hosts and we are already looking forward to staying with them again next year. More

We stayed 11 nights at Middle Holly Cottage and found it to be just perfect. It is 5* quality and both Ian and Hilary were so kind and helpful on a number of issues. One of the best B and Bs we have ever stayed at! We heartily agree with the other reviews! Mr. and Mrs. N More
