Perfect location to explore surrounding area. Beautiful cottage and fantastic hosts. We had the use of 2 huge fields while we were there in which we could run the dogs. The local pub The Bear is only a 10 minute walk away through the fields. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it.
