Please be aware this is not allocated parking so cannot be guaranteed, but is not usually a problem. If you have more than two cars, please park the additional vehicles further up the road outside the pub car park, out of respect for our neighbours. Please note – the parking is on the opposite side of the road, so there is no way of charging an electric vehicle at the property. There is good, free Wi-Fi throughout the property (41Mb), but no mobile signal in the area. A full basket of logs is included in your booking for use in the log burner and pizza oven, further logs can be purchased if required during your stay. Gas for the BBQ is also included.

Loved the property, very well provisioned and everything was very high quality. The village and area were also lovely, and the pub over the road was a gem. The owners were very helpful and accommodating.
Loved everything about the cottage. Met by the host James who was very helpful and very impressed with all the added extras that were left for us…..bread, eggs, coffee pods and tea bags to name a few. The log burner was an added bonus and made the lounge lovely and cosy.Would definitely return in the future. Also had an amazing Sunday lunch at The Old Gate pub which is opposite the cottage.
