Such a lovely cottage, brilliantly placed in a village churchyard up the lane from a welcoming pub. Set in the shadow of a 12th century church with the lane continuing up to an array of wonderful footpaths, the cottage was the perfect base for exploring the area.

Absolutely charming from the kitchen to the claw foot tub. The hostess has thought of everything. The location is lovely right next to the old church. Down a path is a pub and nearby is the Busy Bee Bakery. We were very pleased.

Fabulous property, minutes from Ridgeway and fabulous walks. Decent pub with food at the bottom of the lane. We accidentally locked ourselves out on our first night, keys arrived within minutes, nothing was a problem even though it was 9pm. Very kind generous hosts, highly recommended.

This host has a commitment to quality in every detail about this lodging. If you could give 10 stars instead of only 5, i would surely give that rating. Very impressed!!! Just sad that we could only stay two nights.

Overall, it is a very nice property. The amenities were described accurately and questions were answered quickly. The only negatives were that it was quite cold and didn’t really get comfortably warm for a couple of days, also cleaning could be a little more thorough.
