Relaxing and tranquil
Location of the cottage may be too remote for some but thoroughly enjoyed our stay. With the cottage set in a walled garden it was fantastic for letting the dogs out to play. Would highly recommend

Gorgeous secluded cottage - highly recommended.
Gorgeous secluded cottage with wonderful walled garden and estate to explore. Real attention to detail shown by owners who couldn't have been more helpful. We noticed that the dishwasher wasn't working properly, but within 24hrs the owners had replaced it with a new one! Lots to see and do in the area. Highly recommended.
