I can’t recommend this cottage enough, everything was just perfect, The bed was comfy and all the furniture was very comfy too.I loved cooking on the Aga and the walks down to the river were an absolutely wonderful way to spend time with Mother Nature. So much wildlife to see and we watched otters in the river, which was an absolutely wonderful sight.

Lovely cottage and garden. The back garden being completely enclosed means you can leave French doors open and allow dog to go outside without having to worry about it getting onto road. The spiral staircase would definitely be an issue for someone with mobility problems.
