Lovely cottage, clean, well laid out and with everything we could want. Welcome pack was a nice touch. Bed was very comfy and towels soft and fluffy! Quiet location with countryside all around it. Saw Roe deer on the 1st morning from our kitchen window. Lots of choice for dog walking with the common and the bridle paths.The hosts were very welcoming with our names on a chalk board near the front door! Will definitely book again to further explore this part of the country.

We had a lovely week stay at the old dairy. It’s a real home from home. Very comfortable and with everything you need. A lovely welcome basket when we arrived and also one for the dogs.
