Lovely cottage in a pretty village and having the garden by the stream would have been lovely in the summer. Plenty of space and well equipped with comfortable furnishings and we had a lovely week here. Very handy and quick walk to the pub which was very welcoming and served good food.

Very quaint and comfortable cottage with good parking and garden. Sadly the weather meant we couldn't enjoy the garden overlooking the river but the visiting pheasants provided entertainment.
