Beautiful location! Lovely sitting outside watching the birds visit and great views. Property needs updating. I’ve given comfort an average because I found the bed too firm but my DH didn’t have a problem with it. Pub serves nice food and there is a shop but not that close. The owners are very friendly and happy to help. Some great dog walking a short drive away, although there is a field where the dog can go off the lead if no sheep!

A beautiful little annexe style cottage that is well stocked with utensils that you will need due to all shops being miles away some via single track twisty lanes😬 would definitely go back but more prepared with food stocks.
