Everything you could wish for. Lovely position next to a beautiful ancient church and more widely a wonderful area to explore. Everyone we met was so friendly and Pauline was a delight and very helpful. The cottage was very well equipped and lots of nice little touches. The bath was especially nice with loads of hot water. Everywhere was very clean.

A lovely well kept countryside cottage in a small village next to a church. Nearest shops are about 5mins drive away. Pauline provided a lovely welcome pack including some local eggs and jam. Two lovely bedrooms one ensuite with high vaulted ceiling and large double bed. Small kitchen with dining table and comfy sofa on the ground floor with upstairs lounge area accessed by open wooden stairs, not ideal for mobility impaired.

Beautiful cottage with stunning views. Pauline is the loveliest host. Quiet & tranquil location but close enough to local amenities. Lovely locals, beautiful norman church & glorious garden & woodland. Lots of kitchen utensils that you often don't get in rented cottages, books galore, CD player & CDs, built in BBQ & TVs in most rooms. Absolutely fab!
