We arrived at the double named storm as it hit the coast just 3 miles away yet we were snug in the cottage set in old woodland. Lovely waterfalls at the bottom of the drive and total silence overnight giving exceptional peace and quiet.

Parking is excellent, once you get used to the road leading to the cottage it is easy enough, just plan to go out and come back once a day.
