    Friendly owners and large general shop right next door. Only negative was the bathroom door sticks

  • David

    It was easy to find and the hosts were lovely and very helpful. Such a nice location with plenty of walks from the Cottage. Great place to start your days out from or just to relax in. Very peaceful friendly village and would go back again without any hesitation. One note of warning, it is very dark in the village either wear bright clothing or have a torch . We stayed mid November

  • Li

    It's spacious with the bonus of a pretty garden with barbecue and seating. Everything you need for a relaxing stay is supplied - including a dishwasher and coffee machine which were my personal favourites! The owners run the handy shop next door and are very friendly and will have tips on what to do in the local area.
