Perfect for one. Enjoyed the conservatory in particular - spent much of my time there, overlooking the garden, listening to owls in the evening and even a roe deer appeared early one morning. Well located, loads to see and do in the area. Owners friendly and available but unobtrusive.

The conservatory and garden were very good to extend the cottage and the wood burner just what we needed to warm up after getting cold and wet. The location was ideal for visiting many historical sites both English Heritage and National Trust. We had an enjoyable break at Wood Glen Cottage.

Easy access to to all of the attractions we wanted to go to. Lovely local pubs (The Horse and Groom/ The Sawn Inn). The hosts very accommodating. Highly recommend.
