Wander into the surrounding woodland via a pathway through the woods which runs parallel with the stream and is clearly visible once you have crossed the small bridge from the garden.

An amazing place to spend a relaxing time away. It feels like home as soon as you walk through the door, it has everything you could possibly need for your stay and a lovely hamper full of goodies. Spacious comfortable rooms and bed and a wonderful large bath to soak in. The garden is beautiful and very well maintained, full of wildlife to sit, watch and enjoy while sitting with a coffee come rain or shine. Secluded and peaceful, you couldn’t ask for anything more.

What a stunning location and cottage. From the drive up to the property until our departure it was a pure delight staying here. It is obvious the amount of love that has been poured into the gardens and thoughtful layout inside the cottage. I could have stayed forever. A tranquil retreat perfect for its purpose. Thank you , I will be back.
