Lovely property. We stayed as 3x adults but it would very very easily suit families. Lots of equipment for babies and children, play equipment in garden. Host ensured we had all basics on arrival - tea, coffee, sugar, milk, seasoning, oil for cooking etc. lots of information left about the property and local area. Great host and property, miss it already and will hopefully be back!

A beautiful location, in a beautiful part of the countryside. Not impossible to walk but not brilliant however fabulous walks are only a few minutes drive from the cottage.The Hare and Hounds was a great pub with a lovely menu.The kitchen was easy to use and well stocked, although some pans did not seem to work on the hob.Loved the conservatory and the wood burner.The dining table was the perfect size for meals and game playing.Good wifi most of the time, although signal not strong enough for the downstairs bedroom.We had a very enjoyable Christmas and the lovely decorations were a wonderful extra.Owners were very easy to contact and helpful.
