Ginny is the perfect host. Our stay on her beautiful farm was restful and idyllic and the cottage was impeccable. The kids helped to feed the farm animals in the morning and we made friends with the goats and the cows opposite the cottage. Really cannot recommend this enough. Thanks for an wonderful experience! Will definitely be returning.

We had a lovely week. The cottage is to a high standard throughout and in a wonderfully quiet location if a little hard to locate. But owner was very helpful and talked us through when satnav failed us. Owners dogs came to visit every day. Not an issue as my dog is very friendly but you should keep this in mind when booking as they can access your Read moreprivate area. The river walk is highly recommended. And the home made cake on arrival was amazing along with home grown veg which we loved. Hide
