Lovely, traditional, well kept cottage. The village is quiet and very picturesque. Friendly pub and a convenient village shop. We had a lovely short stay and visited a few of the many local attractions. Dog owners should be aware that the garden although pretty and secluded was not secure at the time of our visit.

We’ve stayed here a couple of times and would definitely stay again. Lovely local pub. Very dog friendly cottage (and pub!) The owner leaves an excellent welcome pack too.

If youre looking for an idyllic cottage with everything you might need, this is perfect for you. Really nicely appointed, the communication is excellent, and check-in was really easy, even in the middle of a storm. Would highly recommend!
