A compact, but well thought out and equipped cottage on a working livestock farm. The owners (all 3 generations) are very friendly and helpful. The village in which the farm and cottage is set is very quiet, but there are plenty of National Trust properties within a 20 mile radius of the farm to visit, plus a few English Heritage properties slightly further afield.
