Nice cottage in lovely grounds. Ideal spot to visit local attractions. Dogs enjoyed the freedom in amongst the apple trees. We will be back!.

The cob cottage was very warm and comfortable. The front has a pleasant enclosed garden looking onto a large paddock. We were lucky enough to take advantage of the apples hanging in the orchard which I munched on my daily dog walk. The pool was really warm and so even on a cool or rainy day it didn’t stop my daily swim. The location was excellent. There is a guide in the welcome pack detailing local eateries, beaches and river walks. Sheila and her husband couldn’t do enough to make my husband and I welcome and also our 2 dogs. We tried recommendations they made from Sunday lunch to fabulous walks and a riverside pub to sit with a glass of wine on the terrace. I will definitely return
