Fabulous quirky retro cottage. Absolutely loved the appearance of a train platform with attached railway carriage. Very comfortable and spacious with all the necessary kitchen equipment and a lovely aga to warm the room. The owners were very helpful with great communication. Highly recommended 😊

One of the most fabulous places I've ever had the pleasure to stay in. The attention to detail and care taken was amazing. We were serenaded by an owl every evening, then in the morning enjoyed sitting in the window seat watching the birds. Can't decide which part we loved the most, the railway carriage or the fab kitchen. We are definitely going to come back
