Reviews
We stayed for one week but wished we had stayed longer. Very comfortable, and all we could expect from a holiday cottage. An outside jacuzzi has recently been added to the patio garden. Delightful village with lovely surrounding countryside. Very welcoming village pub 2 minutes away in the village, with meals served at pubs in surrounding villages.
