Thank you very much for letting us stay for 2 nights at short notice. Lovely family to welcome us and chat to. Everywhere was spotlessly clean with everything you need and the cottage was warm and cozy. Beautiful village with a nice pub and lots of lovely countryside walks to enjoy. We really enjoyed our stay and can definitely recommend booking The Old Dairy. Best wishes, Sue and Andy

Loved my sadly short stay here. Exceptionally clean and comfy, I thought I must be the first to stay there, but no, they just keep it so well. We were nice and warm too, despite a cold snap. Very well thought out accommodation. Friendly owner, pretty village and a local pub to walk too. I was sad to leave, felt very at home.
