Gorgeous little cottage in a peaceful location and beautiful surroundings. It made a perfect dog friendly place for a long weekend away. Although the owners were away they stayed in touch and made sure we had everything we needed. The shared field was a bonus, and lots of lovely places to eat only a short distance away.

A very comfortable cottage, with lovely views of surrounding countryside.Good on site parking which is something I always look for. A good pub within walking distance which did excellent meals. Lots of walking trails and good wellsign posted roads.
