Fabulous location if you like to be away from it all and into nature. Red squirrels, Jays, woodpecker and 100s of tits and other small birds. Lovely log fire. Local walks. Only downsides are far as we were concerned was no hair dryer to be found and TV was small and a bit dated. We ended up watching Netflix on Laptop when we couldn’t look out of the window at the wildlife. Highly recommended.

Lovely cottage in beautiful and peaceful location. Cycling and walking opportunities abound direct from the house. Very cosy and can also recommend the excellent butcher in the village.. Can't wait to return. Thanks for a great stay.
