Like that some of the cottages original features have been retained. Thanks for the welcome pack. Unfortunately there was no outside space. The Joiners Arms situated two or three doors away was really good with welcoming staff and locals. Food was good. The Quarry tea house was a short walk or car ride away as itâs at the bottom of a hill but is definitely worth a visit for their home made cakes. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you.
