One of the best cottages we have stayed in and weve stayed in many! Extremely comfortable and well appointed with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Although the new owners are relatively new to the holiday hosting game they didnt appear so : they were warm and welcoming without being intrusive and always extremely helpful. Big to Roy theRead more sheepdog. The location is beautiful and whilst rural and peaceful is not too remote: The Old Mill pub restaurant is but a few minutes drive. Hide
