A fabulous holiday cottage. Very peaceful countryside, but within walking distance of a pub.Comfortable and immaculately clean.Everything needed for a self catering holiday.If I had one thing then the Wi-fi/ TV signal could do with enhancing but this did not spoil our time there and we are already planning to visit again next year.

I would agree with all the previous positive comments, a lovely cottage. The only thing I would remark on was the fact that we were unaware that the cottage was attached to the owners property. With a dog who reacts to the drop of a pin, we probably wouldn’t have chosen this lovely cottage had we known. Perhaps it should be mentioned in the description? If your dog is chilled, perfect.
