Heritage Cottage

Very nice cottage, our landlord surprised us with a well -filled welcome basket with bread, eggs, cookies, bacon, tea .... Very helpful and always available for questions. With a rental car you can explore the surroundings very well and return to the idyllic cottage after a strenuous day. Highly recommended, thanks to the landlords we had a wonderful week.

Heritage Cottage

Heritage cottage was well equiped with comfortable furnishings. The frontage of the cottage gets the sun all day so the living area is bright and pleasant to sit in. A patio area is to the side of the cottage and looks across open fields. All windows and doors look out to surrounding well maintained garden area. The owners live close by but the cottage provides complete privacy with its own large parking area. The area around the cottage is open farm land and in a peaceful setting with a nearby track for walking dogs. A community run shop is a 10 min walk away providing essential goods. Local attractions are a short drive away.
