The cottage in a very rural location ideal for those who enjoy hill walking with a friendly pub next door Lovely touches like s/king bed, stove. I would however agree with a previous review in that the cottage is lovely and comfortable for 2 or 2 adults and children but not for more than 2 adults comfortably. Maintenance issues and welcoming toucheRead mores were a bit disappointing when we stayed but we made the owner aware so hopefully they will be rectified. If so we would recommend to others. Hide

A nice spacious cottage, in a lovely rural location. Lots of places to visit in all directions Lovely sized garden with lots of equipment and games. When we arrived the pub next door was shut down and due to not arriving till after 5pm finding somewhere to eat was difficult and don't forget to take some milk for when you get there.

A beautiful cottage in a very quiet village so if you are after relaxation, this is perfect. It is so peaceful and great for dogs as the garden is huge but totally enclosed.
