This was our third visit to this lovely well appointed accomodation. As is usual it was so relaxing. It's in a beautiful setting and the rear garden is very pretty with lovely views. I particularly find the kitchen area practical and easy to use. The bed is very comfy and it's extremely quiet in the bedroom too. On balance a great place to enjoy a holiday.

Very clean and comfortable cottage. Could have been a great location but for us who like to walk it wasn’t ideal. To get anywhere we had to get in the car. The roads and lanes leading to the cottage we felt were much too narrow to walk safely. That was the only downside. Pubs and restaurants in the area were very good but again you had to take the car.
