This accommodation is well decorated and fitted out excellently. It has a fresh modern yet classic cottage feel bridging the gap between old and new. Some lovely touches have been added and make for a welcoming and homely feel. Remembering you are on a working dairy farm site there are a number of walks round about. We also visited the local HollieRead mores which was great. Very welcoming, friendly and accommodating owners. We would definitely recommend this for short breaks and longer holidays. Hide
