Beautiful property in beautiful location and setting. All facilities were good, though due a refresh. Great base to explore during the day and the pubs in the adjacent area.

“Fabulous stay”
We were a group of seven ladies celebrating a birthday. The cottage was beautiful, clean and well appointed. Lovely area, great for walks, would highly recommend a walk to the Seven Stars pub (about 5 miles), which was recommended to us by the owners. It’s a short stroll to the local shops, pubs, cafes etc. Hosts were excellent at responding, really couldn’t say anything negative. We had a great time!
