The Lily Pad, Frog Hall

Having recently sold our home - we needed to secure a flexible, local rental to stay at with our baby son whilst we completed on our new home. The Lily Pad not only provided this, but the spacious, comfortable interiors has meant that our stay has been really enjoyable. (Total stay being 7 weeks). There really feels like there is a ‘personal touch’ here.Very easy to book and the owners have excellent communication. The owner Jane was very happy for us to provide weekly updates on the status of our house purchase, letting her know on very short notice whether we would require a further week. This provided immediate comfort to us as house buying is a long drawn out process.The cottages are very well positioned with good parking. There is a large lounge area, and a large kitchen/dining area. Ample room to spread out and have ‘space’. Even in these extraordinary times.Every cottage has a private area outside to the front and rear of the property. We stayed over the really cold weathers and the cottage was very cosy with under-floor heating.We noted the owner got up early on snow days to sweep our front door areas. A very nice touch!There is a separate building situated a short walk away from the cottages, which homes the washing machine.The pool area has been closed but that was expected due to Tier 4 status lockdown and the govn guidelines regarding pools.We would highly recommend the Lily Pad. There are people staying here who are returning guests - always the sign of a good holiday home!

We came to the Lily Pad cottages for my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary and we rented out 3 cottages for the family.The location of the cottages were perfect and we loved the pool and barbecue area, where we could sit and relax in the afternoons.The kitchens were well equipped and the lounges were perfect size for the family to get together.The bathrooms in a couple of the cottages could do with updating particularly where you had to hold the shower over the bath and in the wetrooms it would be helpful to have a bar to hold onto to stop slipping.This is the 3rd time we have been and we will definitely be back.

I went to lilypad to do some work for the owners and couldn't believe how nice it all was ,very clean modern warm and up to date

We've stayed at Lily Pad cottages 3 times now with big groups of family and friends and I can't fault any of our visits. The cottages are clean, comfortable and well equipped (the beds when joined together are huge!) The pool room is a fantastic bonus and leads out onto a lovely courtyard with a BBQ. There's loads to do for families in the area, but you don't actually need to leave the village (which is beautiful), there's a gorgeous little vintage tea room close by that does great food, 2 pubs, a village shop, butcher, and a children's playground next to the cricket pitch, everything within walking distance. The owners are friendly, and there's always someone around to help if you have an issue as they live on site. Can't wait for a 4th visit!

Cottages clean and nice location. A bit dated inside and the bathrooms could do with a revamp as they were quite basic. The wet room floor gets incredibly slippy even with mats down so be careful.

Stayed here for a wedding and also a skydive, was ideal location for both which was great and the area was very nice.The room I stayed in, number 8, can do with a revamp, the bathroom trailing and items where all rusted looking which was less than ideal, and not sure what coffee was left but did not taste nice.Apart from those minor items it was a really good stay, wished I had time to try the pool but unfortunately didn'tWill definitely come back if I need to stay in the area.

I stayed at lily pad cottages for almost 3 months whilst waiting for my next property to become available. The accommodation is very well equipped, spacious and well maintained, more than adequate for small or large groups for short or long term visits. Jane and her team are friendly, courteous and very professional. The facilities on site include indoor swimming pool, table tennis table, Wi-Fi, TV, sauna and a large bbq area and the local village has 2 pubs and a small shop. Finding lily pad cottages as temperory accommodation made my situation of being temporarily homeles quite enjoyable and almost stress free.

Lovely location and quaint little cottages. Well positioned for events in the village and the local area. The courtyard is clean as is the cottage itself.The rooms are in the eaves upstairs so watch your head if you are tall, but they are spacious with storage and wardrobes as well as a desk and mirror in each. The beds are ok, not quite as comfortable as they looked but they were clean.The bathroom is downstairs and is more of a wet room with an added bath so is good for accessibility and general mobility issues. The general decor is a bit on the dated side and the bathroom in particular could do with a little revamp as the tiles are incredibly slippery and are showing signs of mould getting in. All things considered it is a good spot and I'll happily go there again.

Really enjoyed our stay at the Lily Pad. Cottages were lovely and spacious, the kids loved the swimming pool. The owners were very friendly. Will be back again. Thank you
