    “We really enjoyed this larger than expected, clean and comfy cottage.”

    The bifolding doors looking out on to a really lovely garden was a real pleasure. The kitchen/diner is very light and spacious and it was nice to have 2 sitting rooms, both with good log burners. The beds were all very comfortable too. The cottage is in a lovely, peaceful location surrounded by beautiful countryside, perfect for dog walks straight from the door. The local pub is close by, serving slightly unusual, but delicious food which we all enjoyed. The only negative we found was ...

    The bifolding doors looking out on to a really lovely garden was a real pleasure. The kitchen/diner is very light and spacious and it was nice to have 2 sitting rooms, both with good log burners. The beds were all very comfortable too. The cottage is in a lovely, peaceful location surrounded by beautiful countryside, perfect for dog walks straight from the door. The local pub is close by, serving slightly unusual, but delicious food which we all enjoyed. The only negative we found was looking out at the front of the cottage on to lots of bins, recycling boxes and bags which belonged to the neighbouring houses directly opposite We can definitely recommend this lovely cottage. Thank you.
