lovely cottage & stay. The track down to the cottage is a bumpy ride. Local store is well stocked. Plenty of walks around the village.

A wonderful week in a cozy cottage, very peaceful & relaxing. We saw lots of wildlife including a kestrel sitting on the fence, bats & deer at dusk together with a wonderful dawn chorus. Sun rises & sunsets were lovely. We enjoyed sitting outside listening to the birdsong including chiffchaff & chaffinch & in the conservatory. Lots of walks locally. Local ales & cider available at "The Star" (closed Mondays).
