Great cottage in a quiet little village. EXACTLY as described, it met all our expectations. Local pub (Old Gate Inn) does good food at a fair price. Would recommend this property all day long. Excellent!

Lovely comfortable cottage. We liked the kitchen/diner with the wood burner. Great having a downstairs bedroom and bathroom. Great location. Recommend the Old Gate Inn within easy walking distance for good food. However, the heating was an issue if you are wanting to stay in the winter months and 2 of the bedrooms were very cold.
