We really enjoyed our stay at Meadowcroft - thanks! The cottage was comfortable and well equipped; pleasant outdoor space to sit in the (occasional) sunshine, parking right outside. The village is lovely, with a number of short walks from the door and a river with plentiful bird life (dippers, kingfisher). The pub has no interest in catering for vegetarians but we were happy not to eat out!
