A great stay with wonderful hosts who left us some milk and fresh eggs. The cottage was warm and cosy, with the log fire really stealing the show. Lots of wildlife, a great country pub nearby and absolute peace and quiet. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

A lovely little gem of a cottage, surrounded by trees, off the beaten track. A perfect place to get away from it all and recharge. Plenty of birdlife to admire from the comfort of the porch; and a plethora of local attractions and historical landmarks to visit all on the doorstep. The hosts are friendly, welcoming and on hand should you need assistance, but respectful of your privacy.

Lovely cottage in a great quiet secluded location. Roads to property are one car width but not a problem. Owners were friendly and helpful and available close by if needed. Cottage had everything you could need for a great holiday. Thank you.
