“Cosy, comfortable and a real home feeling cottage.”
A lovely hidden gem out of the way. The local pub is a must ( a quick drive ) and so many walks waiting to be explored. We were a family gathering of 6 people, plenty of room , all en-suite rooms were very cosy and comfortable giving the whole cottage a lovely home feeling. Thank you to the owners for letting us stay in your amazing cottage.
