The owners and their daughters were very welcoming and helpful. Nothing too much trouble for them. Dogs were so friendly, such characters. The countryside around the property is delightful with lovely walks and lots of wildlife. If you spot eggs for sale at the end of properties in the local lanes, buy them. They are so fresh and delicious and much cheaper than the shops. Thank you also to the owners for the gift of Butty Bach, Weston's cider and local crisps. Certainly great introduction to local produce which we've bought to take home with us.

It is close to lots of places but feels a million miles away. The cottage was clean, well maintained and had everything you need, a real home away from home. Mr and Mrs Mitchell are friendly and helpful and the alpacas, sheep and dogs were an added bonus. We are already tempted to rebook for our next time off as we enjoyed ourselves so much. Thankyou!
