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

There was a lot of thoughful attention to detail and some lovely welcoming features. Communication with the owners was easy and helpful. If we were in a similar, family situation in the future, we wouldn't hesitate to look for a return visit to No. 10. Thank you!

The location is perfect, in a quiet side street near the Abbey but just around the corner from the village cafes, shops and restaurants. We really enjoyed our very comfortable stay.
