Lovely cottage in a quiet village. Very clean, well equipped and comfortable with a great welcome package. Also very dog friendly, which is important to us.As long as you have transportation this is a fabulous place and we’ve already stayed once before and have booked our next stay already.

The setting is absolutely beautiful, the countryside around the cottage is stunning. The Milbury PH nearby is a gorgeous pub with very nice food. All in all an excellent place to stay for a quiet getaway.

The Dairy had a very relaxed feel to it. With plenty of wildlife to look at (birds, alpacas) while relaxing outside on the patio, inside was just as relaxing. There was plenty of room for the four of us. You can cook, but I'd recommend the short drive to the flower pots inn, where the staff were welcoming and the food was good.
