Lovely historic propery
We enjoyed our stay very much. The property is very old with a lot of character. Low ceilings so watch you head if you are tall. The fireplace was a nice touch. The heating worked very well and house was very cosy with or without a fire. Internet conn

Epic British cottage getaway
Tasteful restored, magic moments throughout the inside and outside. Would highly recommend if you want the joy and charm of a rustic getaway blended with modern convenience. Spotless inside, really hoping to come back again someday!
