The cottage was in a great location overlooking fields the landscape very peaceful. The amenities in the cottage were very good and it was a very well laid out property with great flow. Easy to get to surrounding villages or just great for walking and discovering the area. A car however would be highly recommended.

Cottage is NOT good value for money. We have experienced many cottages through-out the UK and this one was found NOT to be to the standard we expected from the high price level paid.

Lovely cottage. Very comfortable ans I rarely sleep well on strange beds as I find them uncomfortable. I'd ever bought a bed topper but didn't need it. The owners live bext door but you only see them if you need them and offer some great suggestions on places to visit. It's a beautiful area and a great place to stay whilst you explore it.
