A beautifully presented cottage in a wonderfully quiet location with views of the nearby hills. You’ve got everything that you are likely to need for your stay. As other reviews have stated, the nature of the cottage means that the headroom in places upstairs is restricted but didn’t cause us a major issue. It’s a short drive to the nearby shops and facilities and whilst we didn’t manage to try them, there are a couple of small cafe / coffee options within the hamlet. A perfect location for our week long stay.
