“We spent a lovely and very comfortable few days here.”

The enclosed courtyard garden was perfect for our puppy Bonnie. The kitchen area is small but we had everything we needed. I had never used an air fryer before but I found it easy to use for all our meals. Lee the owner is friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble for her to make your stay a happy one.

“We had an excellent week in “The Bit On The Side”.”

The owner, Lee, was extremely helpful - on hand in the adjoining cottage if needed but definitely not intrusive. Great parking facilities. The cottage itself is very well thought out with everything you’d need for a week away. Very comfortable and cosy and the courtyard garden is lovely for sitting out. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing break.

“The owner met us on our first morning, and throughout our stay was very friendly and helpful.”

She was a delightful lady. We told her how much we enjoyed our stay. The accommodation was very comfortable and clean. We are already looking at dates for future stays, (this was our 2nd stay).

“The place was cosy and the owner was lovely.”

But it would have been nice to have a lock on the bathroom door, as it is in the joint corridor between the two properties, as well as a lock on the door next to the kitchen which leads to the bathroom and the owners property. Mainly just for a peace of mind, as someone who was travelling alone, it was a little unnerving not being able to lock the doors.

i completely understand, and will see to it asap Lee Property Owner

“Loved our stay at Bit on the Side, perfect base for us to visit friends and family.”

Cottage was very comfortable and had everything that we needed. Great parking area and a pretty walled courtyard, lovely in the evening to chill out with a glass of wine. Lovely to find some pretty flowers on the table and a lovely welcome pack on arrival.
