Probably the best of many cottages we have stayed in over many years. This cottage is well situated for both walking and sites of interest, alongside many small towns and villages of interest without having to travel too far. Would highly recommend staying here.

Beautifully appointed, scrupulously clean with friendly owner. I left my mobile phone behind and Mrs Simpson sent a message on the day I left ,offering to post it up to me. Would highly recommend and would certainly return.
