Stayed there 11/oct/25 for a week, loved the location, very quiet which is what we wanted. the cottage has everything you need and is very comfortable and best of all if you bring your pooch with you there is a small park literally several feet away from the front door.In the village there is a well stocked mace shop, a couple of dog friendly cafes and an hotel, [dog friendly] which was sadly closed for the season whilst we were there.plenty to go and see if you do not mind travelling, overall we had a great week
