We had a lovely week at the cottage. The enclosed garden was great, we could fully relax knowing the dogs were safe. And the paddock was a great spot for them to let off some steam. I would highly recommend anyone staying here, especially with the little touches from the owners. You will need to drive to get to anywhere but the town etc is not far Read moreat all. Hide

The Cider House was attractively presented with everything you need, and the owners helpful and relaxed with us which made our stay that more pleasant. Ideal for dog owners to stay and exercise their dog(s). We loved seeing the newly arrived swallows trying to access the Cider House which suggested they had nested there before the renovation. We alRead moreso felt a bit guilty 'messing up' their arrangements as they noisily discussed the changes that had taken place, and had now blocked their access. Hide
