Janice
! The views are stunning, from all aspects. The accommodation was the cleanest weâve ever stayed at, the shower/bathroom fabulous and the bed perfect for me with my âglass backâ!!!! A firm mattress but still so comfortable. Itâs refreshing to stay at a dog friendly cottage that actually is!! Our lurcher, who loves to run for the joy of it, thoroughly enjoyed the big garden and attached paddock, which the owners kindly allowed us to use. The welcome pack of bread/jam/milk and few essentials was very welcome! This conversion is perfectly situated a short distance from the village, with lovely footpaths from your door. Thankyou to our hosts. We will Definitely return and hope for better weather.

The cottage was lovely and clean and well equipped. We would have liked the knives to have been sharpened as they were very blunt. We would definitely book this cottage again, the location was perfect.

Thank you to Gill and Kev for their hospitality which was gratefully appreciated. There is plenty of room for Teddy our dog and parking facility. The village is not far away and has most things you need, if running short. Would highly recommend for a short or long stay.
