Peaceful location and wonderful garden

We spent four nights at The Old School Cottage. It is a charming property next to the stunning old schoolhouse and a beautiful garden. The host was very friendly and helpful. For anyone with a nervous dog, which one of our’s is, it wasn’t always easy to keep her calm as the garden is shared with the owner and there is a business on-site so our dog kept wanting to run up to people!
Stayed 4 nights in May 2023
