Lovely cottage, great location, beautiful village, great pub next door very friendly and dogs welcome also do great food. Cottage is very rustic and well stocked, everything you need really. Some damp in places but that’s to be expected in a cottage that been there since the 1700’s! The owner is very pleasant and helpful too. Off street parking a bonus.

was a lovely village. Pub just 100yds away. people were very welcoming. Was easy to find and not too far from things and places to visit.The ceilings were a bit low and head got banged a couple of times. Really needs some work and repairs done. Especially the Induction Hob, was badly cracked all the way across. Not a big back yard but ok to sit in and let dogs to go in without having to watch. James who owns it, came to introduce himself, nice gentleman.
