Perfect for a short break
The house was very clean, comfortable and cosy with plenty of room to ‘spread out’. Our dog loved exploring the large garden and relaxing in her bed which was made all the more cosy by the under floor heating. The property was conveniently situated for us to visit relatives living nearby.

Amazing place with all the facilities that are needed. It was lovely and warm with underfloor heating. Really comfy beds. Nice to have 2 sitting areas. Large garden although not used due to the snow.

National Trust Tour
We came to this area to visit National Trust Properties and were not disapointed, its a great location and the cottage is superb. Lovely dinning/ sun room on the back, with plenty of character in the old part of the property. Would return if were visiting this way again.
