The Cottage was a very nice period building with large gardens and a long drive, keeping road noise to a minimum. Some maintenance issues could have been dealt with before our stay.

By far the best holiday, we have had in the UK. A plethora of birds visiting the garden, muntjac dear passing the dining room window every evening. Patio area catches the sun nearly all day, and no traffic noise, very dog friendly, hopefully will revisit later this year or next year.
