When it’s time for dinner, head through to the amply-equipped kitchen to whip up a delicious feast for your guests, utilising the electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and a handy dishwasher for those fuss-free clean-ups! Settle down in the dining room to savour a hearty meal over a bottle of wine in the warmth of the woodburning stove, or if the weather is nice, why not dine alfresco in the private garden where your four-legged friend can stretch their legs? On cooler evenings, serve evening drinks in the conservatory where you can make plans for the days ahead whilst still enjoying the fabulous country views.

The owner has kept just the right balance of old and new throughout the property, so it is easy to find yourself transported back in time whilst still enjoying all the necessary modern amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting the neighbours who are âdeadly quietâ and thankfully kept to themselves. It added adventure and excitement as we imagined their histories and how many of them may have once lived in the house. We enjoyed candlelit evenings listening to the owners CD collection and playing Perudo and Linkee from the board game selection. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property. Thank you Jill xx

We were a party of five adults and dog so the large bedrooms were very much appreciated. Loved the shabby chic interiors and functional bathrooms. Only thing we struggled with was living room sofa was too low for our creaky joints. Owner kept us informed of arrival details and we knew she was there should sometime up - it didn't!. Son and daughter made good use of the Crown Inn too. Definitely would recommend this property

Very clean and welcoming! Beds were so comfy and the cottage was ideal for a short break. The pub was a very short walk away and they were very friendly. Our host Jill was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!
