Have just spent 3 nights in this delightful 16th century cottage. I went with a friend and our 2 dogs. The hosts, Nigel and Janet are lovely and nothing is too much trouble. Our room was spotlessly clean and l love how they had dog water bowls and towels out for the dogs! We didn't find fault with anything and loved being there. We are missing the wonderful breakfasts already!
Will definitely be back!
