We have stayed in the property many times and always enjoy it. Lots of walks around especially if you have a dog. The host is very helpful when booking the house. With 4 bedrooms it houses 2 families with kids and dogs, a lovely garden as a bonus.

A lovely cottage next to a small village green. The interior was olde worlde and all furnishings were well kept. The kitchen was fully equipped from a microwave to a food mixer and a larder full of items eg sugar, teabags, etc.A lovely large garden and a small patio garden which was ideal for our King Charles Spaniels [NOT Cavalier King Charles Spaniels]. Some lovely local walks, if you turned left upon leaving cottage there was a footpath that was paved and over a small bridge to a field and the footpath continued,The farm 2 minutes away had an 'Honesty Shed' which sold, eggs, Milk [in bottles],cream yogurt, crafted pies, Belvoir drinks.Would definitely stay again.

Lyn’s directions were clear and concise. The property is indeed very suitable for a family gathering (we hosted 10 for lunch). Lovely garden area! Several top notch pubs in the area. The house is well-equipped, but we found the towels a bit dated (easy fix for the owner). For older guests, the stairs are a narrow and a bit steep, need to use caution. We were unable to find extra toilet rolls; fortunately we had just enough!

The house was a great location for a family birthday. We particularly loved that there was a pub 15 minutes walk away which served all you can eat breakfast which was a great birthday treat without needing to cook.

Stunning small village, the cottage had lots of space and was excellently equipped. I stayed there with my two children who loved the enclosed garden and local village (especially the tea shop). Will stay again there again.
