Tracy
Cottage was warm and inviting, with lovely character features, exposed beams and wood flooring. Phil and his beautiful well behaved dog were there to greet us and tell me how to use hot water etc. Photographs donât show the real thing, there has been a new kitchen and decor. Huge selection of DVDs and games to choose from. WiFi worked well. Fully enclosed garden was a real bonus. I came here for peace, quiet and beautiful views and I got the best sleep! Will book again. Many thanks for having us.

Everything you needed available. Secure enclosed garden for a dog and you can even block off the small gap under the gate should you have a small dog eg chihuahua. Best of all is the location, it is so quiet and peaceful just the sound of the birds to listen to. Excellent place to relax and recharge your battery. Phil was very friendly and lovely to be met at the property in person and shown around. We loved it so much we have already rebooked for 2025. Can not wait to return.
