A lovely little cottage with everything you need. Its not huge but for two people and a dog was ideal.

Wow, what a little gem. We have just returned from a 4 night stay. The owners gave a very warm welcome on arrival, the cottage is very well equipped and cosy. The hot tub was brilliant to relax in after a walk around the public footpaths from the cottage door or just star gaze and relax while our dog was roaming around the secure garden. We really enjoyed our stay, it did the job of recharging our batteries ready to get back to the rat race. Thank you, Lesley and Paul for making us feel welcome
