Peaceful hideaway with amazing rural views. The Buttery was perfect for the short, away-from-it-all break I was looking for... and the views over fields and woods were wonderful. The cottage (one of three rental properties) is a great mix of clean modern design and rustic charm, and while it's set on a working farm, it's very quiet. I enjoyed my morning chats - tea in hand - with the cows in the paddock around the corner!

Lovely surroundings being on the farm. Comfortable contemporary holiday let with delicious bread and eggs on arrival. We were a couple staying in the Buttery, but ideal for families if staying in either of the 2 larger properties (or can combine all 3).
