The cottage's location is superb with peaceful and tranquil surroundings and ideally placed for visiting places of interest. The only downside would be the steep slope and steps up to the cottage if one or more of the party were disabled.

This is in a lovely isolated location on a smallholding with sheep, goats, chickens all in view from the barn. You hear the goats reminding Jonathan that it is feeding time and see the pheasants waiting too! There are walks galore in the surrounding area for dogs off-lead, just avoid the sheep fields. The walk on the cycleway (disused railway line)Read more down by the river where the landowner has created permissive walks in the fields along the bank is well used.

We enjoyed our stay. Its a bit off the beaten track which is what we enjoy. The trundle down the 400m track from the lane was worth it to find a beautifully restored barn with lovely countryside views. Needless to say it was super peaceful with only bird song, sheep and horses for company.
