We had a great week in this lovely cottage. Great location for walks and cycling from the door and nearby, lovely listening to the stream and sheep overnight. Sunny front courtyard for BBQ. The table tennis and darts barn was brilliant for our teenagers and the 2 fenced areas were ideal for our dogs. Useful laundry/drying room. We’d definitely come again.
