Lovely cottage, great location, beautiful village, great pub next door very friendly and dogs welcome also do great food. Cottage is very rustic and well stocked, everything you need really. Some damp in places but that’s to be expected in a cottage that been there since the 1700’s! The owner is very pleasant and helpful too. Off street parking a bonus.
