Rail station close by if you donât fancy driving, unfortunately the local pub The Engine Inn is closed which is a shame as itâs only 2 mins walk from the house

The views out of the window looked too good to be true on the listing - they weren't, the reality was even better. The family bathroom was massive! (Serious envy). The mattress in the main en-suite bedroom was probably the comfiest I've ever slept on. Everything we needed was there. Would stay again - lots to see in surrounding areas, and great walks around the village.
