A fantastic holiday in a lovely cottage which is in a wonderful village. All the amenities you need. We watched the ducks with their ducklings on the village green and pond. There was a country and western band on the green as part of their carnival. Great fish and chip shop. Kings Arms provides great meals and lovely landlord and landlady.Best of all during this heatwave it was cooler here with a lovely breeze.
