“We couldn’t rate it highly enough. The cosy log burner and the welcome pack on arrival made our evenings (once little one was asleep) the perfect place to unwind. The luxurious touches were very much appreciated. The property is situated in a gorgeous village with a number of footpaths into the lovely countryside just a stone’s throw from the cottage. We would highly recommend it and plan to return soon.” K. London. ( Click here to read more reviews.)
