A beautiful secluded spot on the edge of the Forest. Walk everyday to different locations in peace & tranquility. Woods Edge is a small, cosy cottage, exceptionally clean and with everything you need. A wonderful welcome pack on arrival & treats during the week were a bonus. Great outdoor space to relax in lovely surroundings. Pam & Geoff were very friendly and willing to share local knowledge on walking routes etc. We look forward to returning next year.

Very comfortable. We enjoyed sitting out in the garden watching the wildlife. A very nice welcome pack, and a most enjoyable cream tea, that Pam & Geoff brought over for us. Pam & Geoff were most helpful, offering advice on local walks, and places to visit.
