Nice clean and modern well equpped accomodation. Living room area disappointingly small and sparse( not really evident from photos). Even though the cottage is positioned within a farm, the farm itself is directly opposite a small housing estate. You may be disappointed if you were looking for a true rural experience with open countryside views. We had a pleasant stay but probably will not return.

What a perfect little cottage with everything you need! Great location, right on the farm and friendly farmers to chat to, lots of local farm shops and pubs to visit. Warm and cosy. Spotless and comfortable. We loved it and will be back again!
