Maran Reviews

Oliver Smith
We had a fantastic time at Maran cottage! It was spotless and really well stocked with all we needed. The welcome pack was a lovely touch, especially the homemade lemon cake - yum! The kids enjoyed collecting fresh eggs each morning and making the most of the outdoor space with pool and table tennis. We appreciated how peaceful the rural setting was but still easy to get around to local attractions. The info packs were super helpful too. Overall, it was a wonderful stay we'd definitely recommend!

We had an amazing time at Maran Cottage! Staying with our two friends and our 6-month-old was just perfect. The place is stunning, really cosyand feels like home the moment you walk in. The hot tub was a hitand the added fun of the pool table, table tennisand farm animals kept everyone entertained. Our little one loved watching the cows! Jim was such a lovely hostand the lemon drizzle cake on arrival was a lovely touch. We'll absolutely be coming back and highly recommend it!

The place was really roomy and had everything we needed - honestly, it felt like they thought of every little detail! Loved the peaceful countryside location, yet so close to loads of towns. The hosts were super friendly and really helpful too.
James
We had a fantastic stay at the cottage! Everything was spot on - from the comfy furnishings to the well-stocked kitchen essentials, making it easy to cook if we wanted. The Jacuzzi was always bubbling away, perfectly private and ready whenever we fancied a soak. The owners were really friendly and super helpful, just a quick call if we needed anything. Honestly, it's now our go-to place in the area. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway - we'll be back for sure!
