    Lovely peacful stay, Penny very welcoming, all the facilities you need and more for a self catering break away, cottage lovely, cosy and warm. Very rural so car needed if you want to explore. Comfy beds and bedding. Only problem we had was lots of bluebottles in upstairs bedroom and didnt like stain around downstairs toilet on tiles, doesnt look nice.
