Perfectly situated to explore the area and the views of the surrounding countryside were fantastic. Owners were excellent hosts but not intrusive. Highly recommendable and will return in future.

The bed was comfortable and plenty of equipment. It was beautifully peaceful, just what we needed.

Everything was perfect and the property was very well maintained and a very high standard of cleanliness. We were later arriving than we said we would be thanks to M6 holdups, and we had a phone call from the owner to make sure everything was OK which was a lovely personal touch (he had even put the lights on in the cottage for us). Would highly recommend and we are certainly going to book again.
