We had the most wonderful break at Thyme cottage. It was our minimoon, and the tranquility and escapism was second to none. Such a beautiful part of the world, and it was so lovely to be surrounded by nature. Listening to the birds in the garden whilst in the hot tub was bliss! Well equipped, comfy cottage. Nice touches such as bath robes/towels for hot tub, welcome cream tea and dog treats. Dog had a great time too exploring the neighbouring fields. Very friendly owners and animals on site. Would recommend for a getaway bolthole to enjoy the peace and quiet.

If you want to be in a remote location with pretty gardens and a thatched cottage that is 400 years old but has a modern kitchen, then you will like thyme cottage
