3 couples, 1 single and 5 grandchildren stayed for a weekend party. The house was in a secluded spot. We had a lovely time. Plenty of open space for the children to play. Excellent walks in the Nature Reserve. House was clean and well stocked with items you don’t usually get, eg tea coffee toilet roll washing up liquid. Ample space to spread out if you want a quiet spot to relax or read. Lots of interesting art work and features. It would be nice to have some history of the house.

This house offers an amazing family living/dining area that was the hub of our weekend. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need to cater for a large group. Bedrooms are spacious and offer versatility for adults and children, we had 11 adults, three teenagers and a toddler and it was perfect. Cot and high chair also provided. The garden is idyllic. We enjoyed a family Easter egg hunt and we all had visits in the garden from a family of deer. The walks surrounding the house are varied and well signed. We also walked to Bruern farm shop cafe which is about a 20 minute walk and has a great menu and large seating areas inside and out. You can book for a large party too. The owner is so helpful and offers great communication. This is a perfect house for a family gathering. We will be back soon for another Easter or possibly a Christmas break. Thanks for wonderful memories.

Had a fab weekend celebrating some big birthdays. There was plenty of room for our family and we never felt as though we were on top of one another. The children loved the various places when playing hide and seek! Nice addition having some essentials such as tea/coffee/condiments etc. on arrival. Need to be mindful that it is off the beaten track and the directions do need to be followed carefully. I wouldn't like to arrive when it is dark as there are quite a lot of potholes and need to just take your time and navigate away from them. Adam was a fantastic host; very communicative and on hand for anything.

Brock Cottage is a quirky, individual property in the middle of Foxholes Nature Reserve, perfect for a relaxing, calming stay. The bedrooms are all individually decorated, with comfortable beds and quality bedlinen. The huge kitchen/sitting/dining room is well equipped for catering for a crowd and the log burner ensures that the room is warm and cosy. Outside, the gardens are full of wildlife and the peace is only disturbed by birdsong. The owner was extremely helpful before and during our stay, thank you! Pros: Plenty of space, fabulous log burner, peaceful surroundings, great walks from the front door Cons: Very pot-holed track to property, bedrooms and bathrooms cold (February) even with the heating on
