Excellent holiday cottage, generous welcome pack, could see Becky cleaning the horses every day whic
Excellent holiday cottage, generous welcome pack, could see Becky cleaning the horses every day which we absolutely loved, specially the kids.Will definately return during summer time:)Thank you xxx
We recently rented three homes in England - They were all very, very, good. Even with this tough competition, the Mac Shack stood out as an absolutely wonderful stay. From the friendly, helpful, host and hostess and their beautiful, very comfortable home, I cannot imagine a better rental. We have rented many homes from VRBO, some City apartments, country cottages, beautiful villas and even a castle. Mac shack was the equal or better than any other accommodation. Thank you for our amazing few days.
Every room was immaculately clean and tastefully dressed. The cupboards were well stocked with more than enough for 4 people. The weather was not good to us but would imagine in the spring/summer the outside space would add to the enjoyment of staying here. Will return to find out!
