We stayed a full week in pretty relentless rain yet came away thoroughly impressed by the accommodation and the welcome received from the hosts. The photos almost do not do the property justice, you really need to stay to properly appreciate it all. Lovely history to it, everything you need for your stay. Top quality heating system and faultless WiFi. Nice location, easy walk to the pub and a reasonably short drive to the shops. Our dogs had bowls towels etc provided. Lovely welcome hamper for us including prosecco and, as they knew it was my big birthday, even a card. Truly one of the very best places we've ever stayed at, so pretty and full of character. Highly recommend it

Accommodation excellent, hosts amazing.
Accommodation excellent, hosts amazing. Not much in the village, pub closed during week, nearest shop 10 minute drive.Expected the garden to be at back of property, which it wasn't.. It was shared with owners who live next door, which meant you had to leave the property to access it.Note for people with dogs.Owners ask that pets are not left in the property unattended. Might be an issue for some people if they want to pop to pub for a meal or drink without pets.Overall we had a lovely time during our visit..
We had such a lovely stay! The space was incredibly cosy, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. Some interesting, historic features too! Mike and Dawn were warm, welcoming, and went out of their way to make sure we felt at home. From thoughtful little touches (wine and biscuits for us and treats, towels, blankets for the pup) to great local recommendations, their hospitality really stood out.The only thing to note is that access to the garden is through the front of the property, meaning you have to step onto the street and go round to get there. It wasn’t a huge issue for us, and the road isn’t exactly busy but something to keep in mind. Overall, a fantastic stay in a charming place – we’d happily return!
