Lovely, spacious cottage Very comfortable and easy to find and park Little details from the owner on arrival were the cherry on top! Perfect for wedding guests at Dodmoor House as only a 15 minute drive away and cheaper than most of the hotels around The Old Plough pub thats 2 minutes up the road was also a lovely spot for dinner
