An absolute gem of a cottage, we didn't want to leave! (and nearly couldn't!!) We had the most wonderful holiday here. The cottage is incredibly comfortable and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. A standout highlight was the beautiful garden and patio set; it sits in a real sun-trap, offering delightful views and the joy of Read morewatching lots of local hedgerow birds visiting throughout the day. We also got the absolute treat of meeting the owners' horse and her brand-new foal during our stay, which was incredibly cute! Inside, the accommodation is pure comfort. The bed is enormous (at least a Super King-size) and so luxurious to sleep in. The practicalities are flawless too, easy parking, an abundance of hot water and a fabulous wood stove that could keep you toasty warm during the cooler evenings. For anyone who loves the night sky, the dark skies here are an absolute wonder, we saw so many stars! To top it all off, Pearl and Jerry are wonderful hosts. They left us a lovely welcome pack of fresh farmhouse bread, butter, biscuits, tea, coffee, and sugar for our arrival. Thank you, Pearl and Jerry, for your wonderful hospitality and other help you gave us during our stay. We highly recommend this beautiful retreat! Hide

The cottage was very comfortable and was extremely well equipped with everything we needed and more. There were lovely views from the windows and a great enclosed garden for our dog to run around in. Unfortunately because it was December it was too cold to sit outside but it was a nice spot that would be great in warmer weather.

Lovely comfy secluded holiday spot. Thought it said working farm, so I assumed animals, however only two. In the middle of nowhere and my satnav didn't recognise it so was afraid to leave in case couldn't find it again. Very remote.
