A lovely week in this very comfortable and clean property. We especially liked the sun room where you could look out over the garden and surrounding fields. We had everything that we needed for our stay and would definitely stay here again should we come down to the area.

Lovely cottage, very relaxing and homely. The fire was great after a wet walk with the dog! Despite being next to the road it was really quiet when you were inside. Loved the views from the garden and conservatory. Well-kept cottage with great care and attention to detail from the owners.

Lovely location with fabulous views. Cottage was well equipped and cosy. Great for couples with dogs. Bedroom was delightful and the four poster bed almost too comfortable. Really enjoyed our stay. The Black Venus pub down the hill is worth visiting ( dog friendly) and the Village shop/ Post Office is a bit of a gem. We would definately stay here again. Nice garden which was enclosed and safe for dog.

A really nice cottage and although it fronted a road it was very quiet The rear garden was excellent... Fully enclosed so our puppy could play in complete safety. The lady next door , who looked after the cottage on behalf of the owner was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely return again.
