Ideal for families, with a safe garden for dogs. Big bedrooms, good facilities. I have now stayed in Swallow and Skylark and both were excellent. If you have accessibility issues, the step to the front door at Skylark is rather steep, there are several steps to the front door at Goldfinch.

Cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Plenty of space, could imagine myself living there. There is a good sized garden to relax in, the grandchildren enjoyed the outside space to have a game of football. Wifi is good for teenage grandchildren to have down time. The Cottage is in a good location, close to places to see. Hope to go back.
