Rajdeep
We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Tokenhill Cottage welcoming hosts, welcome pack, the cottage was lovely and cosy, loved the garden. It was a peaceful stay. Didn't get the chance to use the hot tub but I'm sure it would be lovely. In a very good location base to get to quite a lot of places. Would recommend!
Beautiful cottage in a fabulous location. The owner Jane was so welcoming and sent us helpful information about the local area before we arrived. The cottage was clean and well equipped with everything that we needed for our stay. We loved the hot tub and also the extra little touches like fresh flowers from Jane's garden in the cottage. Also loved that locally produced natural toiletries were provided as well as natural, eco friendly cleaning products. We would definitely recommended to others and stay again.
Nicola
The accommodation was excellent, very well equipped. We really enjoyed using the barbecue and the hot tub not simultaneously. A perfect quiet spot for a lovely break. Highly recommended .
Andrew
Our second stay at Tokenhill it met all our needs in every way. Great location for touring. Tokenhill Cottage is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need and spotlessly clean. We had clear sky's at night and with no light pollution to sit in the hot tub and take in the stars was fantastic. We had a great time and would definitely return again at sometime.
Robert
Our stay at Tokenhill Cottage, was fantastic. There were four of us and we had a ball. The property is in a delightful rural setting with no distractions or noise. Just blissful peace. The cottage itself was spotless and very well appointed with mod cons for a selfcatering break. The hot tub was an extra bonus and was a delight. We spent several hours lolloping in the hot water. What a great idea this is. Well done Jane and Sean and thank you.
