The cottage was comfortable and in a good location. Close to a nice pub for an evening drink and meal. Great cafe and craft shop called Yandles is located 15minutes walk down the road, great place for breakfast and shopping for craft items.

The cottage was delightful. The sitting room was cosy and warm and a good place to relax. The garden was secure so our dog could wander around it safely. There were lots of excellent walks which were off road. The village is friendly. Lots of places to eat and drink.

The cottage is located in a lovely village and the off-street parking is a real bonus. It is relatively comfortable but does require some maintenance and re-decoration.
