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.
