It was just what we needed for a couple of days of peace and quiet. Lovely location, cottage was small but very comfortable and exactly what we needed for a change of scenery. Would throughly recommend for short stays.

Claire and Phil made us sooo welcomed and couldn't do enough for us. We were able to host family and friends over a short periods. The only downside, was, the local pub was not operating at its full potential. However, if one wanted to eat out there are plenty of other eatery nearby. If one is looking for somewhere to chillax in quiet surrounding at a reasonable cost then, The Pottery is a must.
