A wonderful cottage that is in a friendly village. There are good facilities provided although it's quaintness (old type latches and wobbly stairs) may hamper some visitors.Will be visiting again.

Lovely cottage with a great little courtyard. The secret garden could be a great asset. The rooms are well provided for and beds very comfy.Loved the extra touches the owner left for us. All the downstairs rooms are at different levels so being mindful of the small step between rooms Would definitely recommend as we had a lovely stay there. The village is great with a pub in walking distance and the villagers are friendly.

Stunning village location.Lovely cottage ideal for two. Good facilities within the cottage with lovely decor touches made it feel really homely. Garden though small did need some tender care.We were only here for 4 days should have stayed for longer but would have then needed a washing machine.
