A lovely, cosy cottage which was just perfect for the 3 of us. We enjoyed its peaceful location and beautiful views. We found it was conveniently positioned for local attractions and we particularly enjoyed our morning out to King Arthur's Labyrinth (perfect for a rainy day!) We would highly recommend this cottage to couples or small / younger families.
