Really enjoyed my stay here for two weeks, quiet and relaxing and comfortable. Has everything you need, and plenty of cafe’s and pubs nearby. Very dog friendly, and I felt safe letting the dogs roam with the door open. Owner so helpful and kind. I very rarely rebook with same cottage but I have booked for next year already. Definitely recommend.

Lovely welcome from the owners and the cottage and gardens were so quiet and relaxing. There were a few maintenance issues which the owners put right and did their best to make our stay welcoming.
