This cottage is everything you need to have a peaceful and quiet break away. The location is on a beautiful equestrian property, which houses many horses in exceptional stables, and the owners are happy to chat about the horses with you. We felt really welcome, especially with the lovely tail wags from Maya the weimaraner who met us at the gates on arrival. The cottage was comfortable and had pots, pans, and all the utensils you could need for cooking. The beds were very comfy, i have stayed in many hotels and air bnbs recently where the beds have been fine, but i like a firm mattress and firm pillows, and this cottage had both. I slept really well! I will definitley be back to stay here when i next need a writing retreat!

Lovely property a lot of money spent on the construction and fittings. Needs a total deep clean and regular cleaning to maintain a good standard.
