Cathy
Thereâs a very high standard of décor in the cottage and also plenty of good cooking equipment for self-catering. The bathroom is particularly spacious and plenty of hot water for the large shower. The surroundings are lovely, well off the main road and thereâs multiple outdoor seating areas to enjoy the views with a morning coffee or glass of wine in the evening. Easy to spend a day relaxing with a book here. There is plenty to do locally including historic towns, walks, country houses and pubs. Note that this cottage is not particularly private without drawing curtains or closing blinds as it is at ground level, there is another rental property attached, the access drive faces the front door and all the windows have clear glass, including the bathroom. We would book here again, but perhaps try the cottage next door next time around, which is more private. Recommended.

Welcoming hosts available on site at anytime. Facilities excellent, welcome pack very grateful. Probably the best cottage we have stayed in. Dont worry if you miss the entrance of the main Ashbourne road nearly everyone does as postcode in sat nav takes you to the back road.
