We have just got home from a 2-week holiday in this beautiful peaceful cottage. The cottage is set in a very small village. Therefore there is nothing around it, we loved that. There is a shop about 4 miles away, and Tesco delivered our big shop of food. Our children loved the freedom of being able to go in and out of the garden at their leisure. The hot tub was a great added extra, and they equally loved going in the tub! We arrived at night, which meant it was difficult to find. There is no sign on the gate! We weren't sure we were at the right place as Google doesn't know where it is. Bear that in mind if you're arriving at night. Overall we had a lovely relaxing holiday, we would definitely go back. We wanted a quiet peaceful holiday away from the hustle and bustle of life. And that's exactly what we got. No phone signal, just WiFi. The owner is great, any issues we had he responded and resolved them promptly. Thank you 😊
