In the kitchen there is everything that you could possibly need, and the property was clean and very cosy. The welcome basket was a nice surprise! We would definitely like to return. The home made preserves option was also a nice surprise, and very reasonably priced (use the 'honesty' box if you are using the preserves!) Hope to be back next year!

Plenty of walks directly from the door, friendly village, with a very well stocked shop. A very generous welcome package was supplied and the owners were friendly and helpful, with a rapid response to minor issue with one of the ovens and ensuring we were ok after a power cut. This meant them travelling from a nearby village to reset the central heating. Would definitely return if we were to return to the area.

The location was perfect as we could travel there by train and enjoys walks from the door so no need for a car. The cottage was well equipped, cosy and comfortable. The welcome pack was very generous and much appreciated. Thank you.
