Delightful stay on a cold and wet weekend

The property is gorgeous and so cozy with the wood fire, and the heated bathroom floor and towel rails are very luxurious. The cottage is meticulously clean, bed super comfy and linen was lovely. We were very charmed by the three sheep. Plenty of walkable options for food and drinks, we enjoyed lunch at the brewery and a wine tasting at Red Ridge (both practically across the road).
