Lovely walks from the doorstep, wonderful garden for the dogs, super clean property and a village pub that does fish and chips on a Wednesday evening. Idyllic!

Its situation was perfect for us, lots of beautiful walks in the vicinity. The cottage itself is full of character and comfortable. We had absolutely no issues with the property and would stay there again. The local pub just down the road is extremely welcoming and offers good food and excellent service.

Property very attractive on edge of village. Accommodation comfortable, very clean and tidy with very well stocked kitchen for the cook (large freezer in outbuilding). Plenty of useful items to be found in cupboards in dining room. Wifi initially not working. Easily sorted when we found plug and wire next to head of single bed had been knocked and needed to be pushed in. Large outdoor space with secure perimeter ensured dogs were safe. Picnic table in sunny spot. Flagstone and tiled floors downstairs meant wet paws and hairs could be cleaned away easily. Narrow road into village stopped us walking to the pub. Wonderful scenery all around. We were surprised to see hardly any people or horses use the bridleway which passes next to the cottage,
