Wander into the surrounding woodland via a pathway through the woods which runs parallel with the stream and is clearly visible once you have crossed the small bridge from the garden.

We had the most amazing time. If I could live there I would happily move tomorrow! The setting is stunning, so peaceful and was perfect for our dog who loved exploring the stream and surrounding woodlands. The garden was beautiful and we were very lucky with the weather. The cottage itself was lovely, a few things were a little tired, for example the tiles had all fallen off around the sink in the bathroom and they were just piled up underneath but very minor. It was all very clean and had everything we needed. The arrival pack could use updating, it's quite old information I think and would also be so appreciated to have had a few recommended walks that could be done from the cottage / closer surrounding area. We will definitely be returning in future

We wanted a quiet relaxing break, unfortunately the grounds were too wet and slippery to do much exploring but we did book in January that's the risk we took, the cottage is great but looking tired inside, worn carpets , but this did not spoil our time here, Would like to return one day as we had a very relaxing time
