REVIEWS

We love to hear back from our guests to find out their experience with Beautiful Escapes.

 April 2021
The website and booking process were great, we would definitely recommend Beautiful Escapes and have already done so.
The Garden Shed is fantastic, we really loved it. Karen made us most welcome from the start. The cottage was beautifully presented and equipped, loved sitting on the terrace on the sheepskins with the fire pit, a beautiful garden to explore too, wish we’d had young children to enjoy it – we’ll have to wait till we get grandchildren!
Added bonuses – Karen’s dog Bruno played with our dog. The dine in ready meals available from Karen were so very good.
All in all a perfect break!
Erica

Our stay at ‘The Garden Shed’ was perfect. Karen is a friendly and welcoming host. We were provided with a lovely welcome hamper and our dog was even given a treat. The shed is very tidy and has everything you need. The honesty shop is great with a variety of choices if you want them. Karen also provided us with details of a great walk. We loved our stay and will definitely be returning in the future!
