Lovely cottage in a really quiet area. A great strip of field at the back to let your dogs have a run around ( just wish you could open a door onto back) every time he er dog wants to go out you have to put them on lead and take them . There’s a field behind with a couple of horses in which are loving to watch. Our only mini moan is that the fridge is not big enough to get more that a few things in so it means going good shopping every couple of days if you like to cook yourself. The furniture was a little low for my husband who had a bad back but other than that it’s really comfortable and cosy. We definitely recommend if you the piece and quite as we do. We hope to return in future.

Absolutely perfect. The location was lovely and the view was beautiful. The stables had everything that was needed for a relaxing holiday weekend. The owner even provided some cakes and biscuits which was a lovely touch.
