Beautiful cottage, in a lovely peaceful area, you could see the dark sky, the stars, no noise, apart from the odd deer, or the local swans - pure bliss. If you want a getaway cottage with everything you need this is the place for you. The owners were lovely, right on your doorstep if you needed anything. I would throughly recommend.
