We stayed over the Christmas week, the cottage was beautifully decorated with 2 Christmas trees and decoration in every room. We received a warm welcome. The cottage is surrounded by farmland, at night if your lucky you can a sky full of stars.

This is a very comfortable cosy cottage. Ideal for if you want to get away from things to chill out. Lots of places to visit within driving distance. Owner very nice and met us when we arrived and came to say goodbye. The only downside is the shower. The pressure is very low. There is a bath too, which I made use of as we got rid of ours at home, for an elderly relative staying. The owner says it is next for upgrading. In spite of this we are hoping to go back next year.
