Lovely cottage, spacious & homely. Narrow lanes & steep driveway both tricky & delightful. The outside space is pure bliss. Only two other cottages at the end of the driveway so secluded & peaceful. Beautiful. We were fortunate with sunny skies so watching the wildlife go by & enjoying the quiet was perfect. Our two large dogs were fascinated with the pond, orchard & grassy areas. Nearest shop is a garage at Wheddon Cross about a 10 minute drive away (not including the long driveway to the road) & is packed with everything you could need. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Many thanks x

Lovely cottage nestled within its own grounds. So peaceful and quiet. Beautiful place to spend a few hours watching the birds, with a cup of tea. Within the cottage itself everything worked tho it has a dated feel. There is a VERY steep driveway and if you’re not a confident driver it may prove to be a little too much.
