The cottage is comfortable and in a great location, with amazing views front and back. The owners left us some fresh eggs from their chickens which was a nice touch. This is our 4th visit to the village and our first stay at Beech Croft, we will be back.

Very spacious, sociable kitchen/diner, handy utility room, very clean and tidy. Beds super comfortable. On a personal note as we have 1 nervous dog, we would have preferred a gate to enclose the back patio area so we knew he was safe. The garden is enclosed when the gates are closed.
