We enjoyed a short break in this tiny but well presented cottage. If your car doesnt fit neatly in the lane, parking on the quay means a steep uphill walk of at least 5 minutes. Cooker and pans available but space limited for food preparation. Access in and out of the village is challenging due to steepness and bends. Otherwise a charming village Read morein a picturesque position. Hide

Very comfortable cottage in a beautiful village. Parking was not possible outside the cottage but the Parking Permit for the Quay was invaluable! During our stay the pub next door was not serving food but the food in The Castle was excellent and the staff were very friendly.

We had an enjoyable week in this cosy, compact cottage. The next door pub's kitchen is not yet ready to do meals, but we enjoyed several meals at The Castle Inn just up the hill. They also do takeaway! On arrival, we were informed that even a 'small car' is not acceptable outside the cottage. The village car park is charging 2 per hour, so visitorRead mores need to make use of 'The Quay' parking permit provided. It is about a 10 minute walk downhill.each way. Hide

This was a lovely holiday cottage in a beautiful and convenient location. Parking is limited and therefore parking at the quayside for a reasonable daily fee is recommended. The house does provide one car parking permit for the quayside but we had two cars.

A lovely bijou cottage, in a beautiful location. Two pubs within walking distance as well as a delightful restaurant and the shack. A great base for exploring the area. People in the village were very friendly. The parking outside the cottage is for a very small car and we were asked if we could move ours which wasnt t a problem as the pub next Read moredoor had a car park and we always managed to get a space.

A beautiful period property that has been modernised in a very sensitive and professional manner. We were warm and comfortable (over Christmas) yet enjoyed the atmosphere of a part of the English heritage.
