Surrounded by lovely views , and a nice little area to sit and read books. Nice to be able to just walk out the cottage and walk the dog.

Sykes and owner John worked very quickly to be able to process my booking. Premises were perfect for my solitary retreat and having John on site was reassuring. He gets the Star Baker award for his Victoria Sponge! Location is amazing with walks in every direction from the door...just lovely.
