This is a lovely secluded location. Totally relaxing. The cottage is very well equipped and to a high standard. There is plenty of room. I've already booked to go back. The owners are lovely and quick to communicate. If you want a quiet time this is the place to go.

A well equipped, comfortable place in a tranquil setting. Loved all the wildflowers and wildlife, especially the swallows nesting in the barn next door and the smell of the honeysuckle by the front door.. lovely walks from the door. A very relaxing place. Friendly helpful owners. Local convenience store is well stocked and supermarkets within reasonable distance. I'm not a golfer but wished I was as the course on the doorstep was very appealing. A hard place to leave.
