Excellent accommodation, well equipped and comfortable in a lovely countryside location. The village is a 10 min walk through fields with a shop for basic provisions and there's also a dog friendly pub. It's in a good area for walking, with various interesting and pretty places to visit just a short drive away. The hosts are very welcoming and friendly, Penny made a delicious for us to enjoy. Highly recommended.
