    It's such a lovely place to stay and make memories with the family. The cottage is spotless, it's comfortable and The Stag pub is just over the road. What more could you want? A red squirrel sighting perhaps? It would have been great but we enjoyed ourselves looking for them anyway. There are plenty around in the woods behind the cottage, so you may be lucky.
