We had a wonderful few days in this truly special cottage.
We had a wonderful few days in this truly special cottage. When we arrived my daughter opened the door looked in and then quickly closed it again, she thought we'd gone to the wrong place as she said "it looks like someone is already staying here & they've just popped out for a walk" such is the wonderfully homely, comfortable atmosphere. This is the perfect place to unwind and get back to nature. We look forward to visiting again soon. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We have been there 3 times now and each time has been amazing,we love the place .Its a real get away from it all experience,the cottage is so cosey and comfortable the huge garden is fantastic our dogs were in their element running round having fun, they wore themselves out even before we all went on our daily walks, and they loved them too.The weather was fantastic and it was great to sit outside and enjoy a drink at the Woolpack . It was lovely to discover they had upgraded the TV which allowed us to have access to Netflix ,so watching a film , having the log fire going and a nice glass of wine of cause,what more can you ask for.We would highly recommend this cottage .
