Perfect for families or friends, this lovely cottage is everything you need for a memorable stay and the warm interior promises many peaceful nights in. The ground floor houses a wonderful kitchen/diner, beautifully presented so you can prepare those home-cooked meals in comfort and join your loved ones at the dining table.

On the day that we were meant to leave there was lots of snow and the owners called to say we could stay another night as it would be unsafe to drive, this was greatly appreciated as we would have been stranded until the snow cleared, they also asked us to let them know the next day that we'd got home safely. Genuinely lovely people. We wouldn't hesitate to stay at this cottage again. Maybe worth mentioning in the description for the cottage that the approach road is very narrow and a large car may struggle to access it.

A perfect retreat for us and our 2 pooches. The coach House has charm, is homely and cosy. 3 good sized double bedrooms, well equipped kitchen (small saucepan would be handy) good sized reception rooms and large secure back garden for our medium sized dogs. 2 pubs on the village green, delightful walks, a very pretty welcoming village. We hope to return soon.
