We are reluctant to recommend Dairy Cottage as when word gets out it will never be available! The cottage itself is immaculate. Tastfully furnished and equiped to very high standard. Marion, the owner, is a lovely lady who cannot do enough for you. Her and Allan made us very welcome. We left with a smile and car full of apples! A definite return. 5*+

Very clean, well catered and comfortable accomodation in a rural location. The cottage is at the end of a tarmac single track road, through beautiful orchards and surrounded by trees and rural landscape. The self contained cottage is located in a close group of buildings/houses at the end of the track. Marion the owner was great, with a homemade cake on arrival (!) and on hand if we needed anything, a lovely lady. Great central location to visit many of the castles and historic houses in the area.
