    Sally-Anne and David are generous and meticulous hosts. Everything was perfect and the location excellent if you want to truly get away from things.

  • Gordon

    Pub in the village, highly recommended

  • Amanda

    One of the best properties we’ve stayed in. Directions to cottage were clear, everything was spotlessly clean and good quality kitchenware, furnishings and bedding. Generous welcome pack of goodies and an appearance at the kitchen window of the handsome cockerel! Would definitely recommend and happy to book again.
