“Characterful, peaceful and a great walk for dogs”
This was perfect for us with our dogs. The hosts loved the dogs and there was an excellent footpath right next to the house. The house is a lovely renovated forge. Full of character. Parking place provided right by house for guests. Nice little breakfast included. Clean air, beautiful countryside and amazing value. If you are tall though, you need to avoid the roof beams in the guest accommodation!
