A delightful hidden gem, just off the beaten track. You will definitely need wellies or walking shoes in wet weather as the approach to the cottage is very muddy. However, you can drive your car down the main drive to the cottage to unload. Ideal if you are looking to get away and relax for a few days. The local pub, The Bush serves fabulous food, Read morebut you will need a car to get there. In Summer maybe a nice walk, around 2-3 miles away. The local village has a Shop with everything you need.
