This is a gem of a place to stay. Completely unspoilt countryside miles away from modern society but not lacking modern amenities in the cottage. It has everything you could need for a comfortable peaceful break away. The hosts/owners are lovely friendly people too. We really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely little cottage in a very peaceful location. It is a very small property, but had everything we needed. Parking was available and the owners were happy to store our bicycles in their garage. Lots to do within an hours drive of the cottage. The property was clean and comfortable.
