    Exceptional stay. We spent Christmas here in this charming little cottage with our dog. A home from home, containing everything we needed. It was warm, cosy & immaculately presented throughout. The owner, Christine, is an angelic host. Her finishing touches such as fresh flowers, freshly baked minced pies, Prosecco & milk in the fridge, her helpful guidebook with places to visit/things to do, more put her a class above the rest. Peaceful location, lots of great food places five mins in the car. We visited Bear & The Royal Oak repeatedly. Lovely Boutiques & pubs with friendly locals. Beautiful walks. We didn’t want to leave, our dog included who was also well catered for with her own bed, doggie treats, dog bath & towels for muddy paws! We will be sure to come again.Thank you!

    A beautiful cosy cottage. We stayed for a week just as the weather outside was turning wintry but felt lovely and snug inside. Despite its small size it never felt cramped. The layout was so well thought out with everything we needed and it was beautifully decorated throughout. On arrival there was a delicious lemon drizzle cake and a bottle of Prosecco which made us feel really welcome. The fresh flowers from Christine’s garden provided that perfect finishing touch. Christine and Peter are great hosts and made us feel really welcome.
