A beautiful little property set in beautiful open scenery just outside a really nice village with a very friendly pub. The owners of the property could not have been more accommodating and helpful. Nothing was any trouble to them. Worth a visit.

This Blackbird can sing! What a delightful little nest. As someone who often travels solo it's hard to find somewhere that's not too big. This is perfect for one person. Yes, couples that like each other a lot could definitely cosy up here too, but the best things come in small packages. Matthew was lovely: prompt in responding, greeted on arrivalRead more, welcome snacks and card. Really was the perfect host. Lola the cat did delay me on leaving as I just had to give her lots of cuddles before I left! Property was easy to find using GPS. Located up a quiet rural lane next to the kirkyard, it was serene and peaceful. And although compact it had everything one needs for some time out. I enjoyed watching deer frolic in the fields and listening to the owl at night. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for some RnR. Hide
