    “A comfortable farm cottage with a lovely view to distant hills from the front door.”

    Tucked away off the main road the cottage is in a quiet peaceful spot and we had a tranquil weekend. There are lots of lovely places to visit locally; an entire day could be spent at Brockhampton (NT) where there are lots of walks, activities, a cafe and an interesting 15th C Manor House to look round.
