Lovely little peaceful cottage nestled in the forest/village. Perfect location with just a short walk into the forest. The area is simply beautiful. The miners arms is just down the road serving delicious food. We were greeted most evenings on our return by the four legged locals out for a meander! We had a great week over Christmas..
