Beautiful cottage in beautiful surroundings
Stone cottage exceeded our expectation it had everything we needed and a beautiful spacious garden completely enclosed.The farm shop and café nearby was useful and the combermere arms served some tasty meals and was just a few minutes away.. all in all a wonderful few peaceful days.
