A beautiful cottage, very well equipped and very comfortable. It was a pleasure to return at the end of each busy day, discovering the wonders of the area. It was warm and comfortable. The views, when it stopped raining, were amazing. The approach is along narrow country lanes, so be prepared for some interesting journeys. The EV charging point is Read morereal asset for those who drive an electric car. Hide

This was a really delightful cottage, very comfortable and in a superb location - if you want peace and tranquility, this is the place to come! The views from our room and the patio area were superb, and the grounds and gardens very well thought out and kept. Tim & Jill were friendly hosts and gave us plenty of ideas for walking and places to visitRead more. Their own marked out routes around the farm were a nice touch. A lovely part of the country to explore which is relatively unspoilt by tourism. Hide
