Excellent accomodation, we were a party of six and there was plenty of room. The location is great, with local shops to cater for your needs. Great response from the caretaker when we had any queries. We had a breakfast and a lunch at the Barn cafe which was great value, with good coffee. Ample walks around the surrounding area.

We loved our stay at Knowle Cottage (2 humans and 3 dogs). It was perfectly situated for walking with the dogs and had the village store just across the road. Everyone in the shops and village were very friendly. We did have a small problem with the central heating but the owner came, within 30 minutes, and sorted it out. We'll be back next year!
