It was our second stay at the paddock. The cottage itself is cosy, clean with everything you could possibly need. There area is beautiful with lots of places to explore locally and beyond if you are happy to drive a bit. The owner was very friendly and knowledgeable about history in the local area. We will hopefully be returning in the near future. Thank you for a lovely stay!
