Cottage des Cathares
Very cosy cottage ,within the grounds of Chateau la Commanderie; an impressive XIII Century Chateau. The cottage is nicely furnished, and well decorated, with a mix of rustic and modern decoration and has a fire place for colder months. We had access to the large pool by the chateau by paying an additional small supplement. Rebecca - the owner - is a charming lady and an artist always ready to help with great recommendations and tips for restaurants and some sightseeing in the vicinity towns/villages. The can also help organising deliveries of wines and food at the Cottage.

Northborough Manor Gatehouse
We found this a perfect property for four couples celebrating a 40th birthday - providing surroundings which amply justified ‘dressing for dinner’ at the grand 18th century table in the dining room or settling around the even older kitchen table for more informal meals.
The hosts were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the amazing history of the property and their love and care for the buildings was clear in the attention given to making the gatehouse a very comfortable place to stay – good quality bathrooms, beds, towels and linen and plenty of crockery and cutlery.
Our late September visit still allowed some evenings to enjoy a drink by the shade of the medlar in the courtyard or a wander through the Italian garden and orchard. Sadly we failed to fit in a game of badminton or croquet, equipment for which was provided!
We all enjoyed walking the fens and visiting diverse nearby places of interest, including Stamford, Flag Fen Bronze age settlement, Barnsdale gardens and Clipsham Yew Tree Avenue. We just didn’t have time in our ten days to visit more!
Three couples had cars but the fourth travelled by train from London – a swift easy journey. We met them from the station but either the regular bus service or a cab would have been quick and relatively cheap ways to get to the house, so a stay without cars could work just as well. Indeed in the generally flat terrain, bicycles could have been the perfect form of transport!
We would definitely happily stay there again!Review about: Oliver's Travels
The Breakers Beach House
Fabulous house right on the beach, with personality and kept to impeccable standards. What a find and such helpful owners advising us on where to go. A brilliant experience which I would highly recommend for a luxurious break! Just wonderful - thank you.
