We stayed at the cottage for one week as a couple with a dog, and it was absolutely wonderful. The cottage is really greatvery stylish, bright, and thoughtfully designed. It has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. The location feels very private and peaceful, yet its still conveniently close to pubs and cafs, especially iRead moref you have a car. The surroundings and the wider region are beautiful, with plenty to explore. Bath is very close, offering lots of activities, and there are also great hiking trails nearby for enjoying nature. We particularly loved the garden and the beautiful views it was the perfect place to unwind. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back. Thank you for such a lovely experience! Hide
