This cottage is small but with all the essentials. For two adults and a spaniel it was just right and we really appreciated the fact that the garden is fully enclosed. Ideal for those with adventurous dogs as they can can be let out safely. Even better, the owners had mown a path round their hay field, where you can walk whilst enjoying marvellous Read moreviews. If you really want to get away from the 'madding crowd' you could not do better than this cottage. Hide
