Shepherds Cottage was everything we hoped for and more.It was comfortable, clean and well thought out. The beds were cosy and 3 bathrooms a real bonus with four adults and baby.Car definitely required, but lots to do or shop within a short drive.Would love to visit again, one of the best we've stayed in.
