A day at the garden

Very comfortable, well presented cottage. The owner provides a good range of food items so you can do yourself a generous breakfast. It's a very interesting part of the country, a dramatic limestone landscape. Her gardens provide very pleasant walks. We had a very pleasant overnight stay.

Lovely peaceful location

Wish we had set aside time to walk the gardens and visit the waterfall. Had very restful sleep. Warm, comfortable country spot. Turn off comes up very quickly when coming from the south

Slice of paradise

This is a wonderful cottage! It is so well equipped and Jill is such a warmhearted and helpful person! All the tasty food she provides - the cake was just awesome. And the surrounding garden is a treasure, so many spots to sit and watch the beautiful scenery. Will be back. Thanks a lot, Jill!
