This was our second stay at this lovely cottage . It is in a beautiful location and was thoughtfully decorated for Christmas. If you wish to cook there is plenty of equipment to do so. The three bedrooms are spacious and if you have a dog , there are lovely walks nearby. The cottage has a convenient parking space annd nice garden . Upon our arrival it was sparklingly clean and there was a good welcome pack. I would highly recommend this cottage .

We had a truly lovely stay at Honey Bee Cottage. The property was spotless, well-equipped, and provided everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The welcome hamper and festive decorations were thoughtful touches that made the cottage feel warm and homely. We would happily return and highly recommend it to others.
