Would highly recommend Walkmill Lodge. The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay and was very clean. The gardens are excellent for enjoying outdoor space and were very secure so we didn’t have to worry about our little terrier escaping to next door’s garden! The WiFi was not the best but that was the only downside to our stay. Pub within walking distance, food supplies further afield, but we knew that when we booked.

Quiet and peaceful location and central for many attractions. Well equipped for most needs, ample parking and outside furniture. Helpful and friendly local shop for basic needs, and 2 minutes away is The Inn on the Green serving great pub food and drink.

A lovely property and outdoor spaces. Really well presented and quiet. I really appreciate the small touches like the biscuits upon arrival, and the basket with dog blankets, towel and treats! There is a convenient shop with a good albeit small range a short distance away but all other main villages and towns are around a 30 minute drive away - but the cottage was so relaxing it was a pleasure to spend a good amount of time there anyway!
