Perfect for a short break away from it all. .The very pretty and private garden is perfect for relaxing in, we enjoyed the hot tub at the end of days out and there are interesting places to visit within short drives. The accommodation is spacious and stylish, with lovely views from the upstairs lounge. The immediate area around the cottages is rural farmland, we like walking but couldn’t find any nearby footpaths. There are plenty of lovely places to walk, again within a short drive.
