    The cottage is so comfortable and beautifully styled and equipped. Thoughtful touches such as snuggly blankets on the sofas, soft towels, a thorough folder of instructions and ideas for walks, the summerhouse and lovely garden, and so much more. Thank you.

  • Pippa

    The walks from the door are brilliant, whether along the river or up on the hills. We are able to leave our car parked and just enjoy the stunning surrounding scenery. We love The George pub, a mile walk along the river footpath. Thank you.
