The cottage is in a remote agricultural location off a short narrow lane in which we enjoyed a few days relaxing in the sunshine au natural and strolling around the pretty garden. The cottage is a well designed comfortable conversion of an old stone stable block well equipped for a short stay, great butchers a couple of miles away with amazing pasties @ Bray & son 👌
