We had a really lovely week staying in Milk Churn. It is a beautiful cottage, very clean and comfortable. Jan & David are amazing hosts and very welcoming and helpful. The cream tea was a lovely touch and just what we needed after a long journey. Before we left Jan gave us a tour of the farm which was fascinating. We will definitely return and can highly recommend.
