This cottage is beautifully decorated & fitted out. Very clean & well presented. The garden is perfectly safe to let the dogs out on their own. We have stayed in many properties through cottages.com & this is certainly one of our favourites. The position was perfect for us as we like to do a lot of walking. There is a pub & Indian restaurant/takeaway in the village & the co-op is just up the road for supplies.

Very clean property, very quiet location, everything we needed, only downside was the settee was very uncomfortable in the lounge and the settee in the bedroom had a strong smell of curry/ spice, overall we had a lovely holiday with fabulous weather.
