The cottage was great for our needs and perfect if you are a walker. The driveway to the cottage can be a little daunting as it follows a quite steep path. Water pressure isn’t great, but it’s manageable. There are four decent sized bedrooms. Overall, we had a very nice stay.

Tawny Barn is in such a beautiful part of the countryside and ideally located for walks. Hannah was very helpful and welcoming and the cottage was well equipped and comfortable. It is remote but also an easy drive to the village for excellent fish and chips. We walked to the local pub in the evening which was also great. Highly recommended.
