Really nice cottage, fantastic location, great pub nearby. Very helpful owners sorted a minor problem very quickly. One mattress was extremely firm, but others were fine.No chopping boards, luckily we took our own!

This property was a fantastic find and the owners could not do enough to help make our stay wonderful. We were there over the New Year and it was still decorated for Christmas, that combined with the log fire and lovely countryside views made it the perfect getaway for us and our friends.
