This beautiful well appointed cottage is ideal for anyone wanting to get away from everyday busyness in order to relax. For the nature lover, wild life abounds and a nearby community managed wetland garden and woodland trails is a delight for all ages.

The cottage was superb. Our son is in a wheelchair and the cottage was excellent. All on the same floor wide doors and big bathroom. The shame is that your website gives less and less information every time. I saw the outside stairs and was concerned about access for my son. I called up and was told that the owners lived on the first floor which is completely untrue. The floor underneath is the games room. Please amend your description of the property and add that It is the perfect cottage for anyone who is disabled!
