Lovely cottage, nicely equipped with private garden. Energetic walk to Roman Villa. Sadly no pub or shop in village so need to travel to get supplies! Several nice pub/ restaurants in local area. Recommend Frogmill Inn, Wheatsheaf Inn and Mill Inn. Very peaceful, quiet and perfect for relaxing. Will be back.
