A Serene and Peaceful Retreat
This is a special place settled in a lovely garden with trees and birds in abundance. The cottage is homely; warm on a cold day and fitted out comfortably with everything needed for a relaxing and enjoyable visit. Mary and Jim are welcoming, gracious and interesting hosts. We hope to return soon!

Our stay
This was delightful to stay at. Hosts Jim & Mary could not be more helpful Lovely garden setting The cottage was very nice and the bonus was the wood burner which in the evening was needed. Would we stay again. Yes if we were passing thru that area.

Wonderful hosts
Jim and Mary are wonderful hosts. The cottage was very clean and is well laid out and had everything we needed. Whilst other heaters were there, we lit the wood burner, so we were very cosy and warm. Great location and handy for the local cafe in Woodbury and Geraldine not too far away.
