Quite an incredible quirky cottage, beautiful location, lovely views watching the cows, monkjacs pheasants wandering around. Overall a very pleasant experience and probably one of the best cottages I've stayed in. The only negatives are lack of coat hangers and subsequent storage so lived out of the suitcase and there was a shed load of cobwebs.

Quiet, peaceful, nice view across the farmers fields. The only downside was the fact that there was only one loo and that is in the bathroom.
