"Llety Nest is a semi-detached cottage on a working farm. It is in a picturesque qnd quiet area, and while not in a town, not far to drive for shops etc. The Cottage had a fully equipped kitchen including a slow cooker, stove top, microwave, dishwasher and full oven.

Waterloo Hotel Lodge

Waterloo Hotel Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed in a lovely lodge, it was cosy, clean and quiet. My parents stayed in a slightly larger one which had a separate sitting area. Both were very comfortable and I’d definitely stay again. Great parking just outside the lodge. A beautiful swimming pool and a fab bar. Evening food was delicious and service was great. Breakfast was lovely too. Would definitely recommend and definitely stay again!"
