The Hootons
Lovely cottage in a great rural location - lots of lovely walks straight from the cottage. Pete and Alison were great hosts, very welcoming and extremely helpful. They live next door so were on hand for any questions we had. Our dog was allowed to run outside in the garden and the fresh hen laid eggs were tasty. Would strongly recommend staying here and will definitely return.

This is one of the best cottages we have stayed in for over a lifetime. Pete & Alison made us very welcome, including leaving milk & fresh laid eggs for us in the fridge. Very comfortable and delightful countryside all around. Also lots of interesting places fairly close by. We definitely hope to go again.
