Excellent, well equipped, cosy cottage. We stayed as a family of 7 + 2 dogs. We made good use of the lovely garden, loved the pub being only 5 minutes away and had great fish and burgers there.

Lovely cosy cottage in a beautiful setting surrounded by fields with horses. Perfect location to celebrate a murder mystery 60th birthday gatsby style with family and dogs. Unfortunately public footpaths came to an abrupt end so you'll need to go further afield for a good dog walk. Thank you for the lovely fresh eggs, bread and milk. A hidden gem.
