The owners are super helpful and were in contact to make sure everything was ok. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for any possible eventuality! The decor is so beautiful and tasteful. The sofas are proper comfy and we ended up staying in the cottage each night of our stay rather than going out. Thereâs lots going on locally, lots of restaurants and pubs. We recommend The Swan- very friendly and welcoming staff and customers. We tried The Dog as well- but it is more of a locals pub. Everywhere seems to be dog friendly as well. Iâll definitely rebook this one in future- very highly recommended, thank you for having us :)

We booked the cottage for our anniversary It was every thing we hoped it would be Quality furniture and fittings decorated in a really unique style with no expense spared The village itself is so busy and friendly It's actually more like a town with the different places to eat and drink and some good walks on the doorstep even though we did travel to do the ones we had preplanned Even though we didn't meet the owners they were intouch to give us helpful tips/information Dog settled in as soon as we arrived
