The cottage is lovely and relaxing in front of the wood burner looking at the trees with a glass of something is just what we needed.
Craig
It is cosy and clean and beautifully presented. Rita is a wonderful host, ably assisted by Henry (the wire haired Daschund, who is adorable). I would recommend Walkmill Barn to anybody looking for a quiet hideaway, it is lovely!
