Great weekend Break in a lovely well maintained cottage with its wild meadow for dog walks, The hosts were excellent on site if you needed anything, with great information on the area, there is a long country lane which is a bit rough in places but is to be expected well worth it, local village as a good shop, Pub for food or fish & chips takeaway
