    “I loved my week here, it is hidden away so you would have to drive to get places but there are some amazing places near by, Leominster less than 15 min drive and lots of gorgeous countryside and unique shops around.”

    This was a last minute booking for me I was grateful how quickly the owners got it ready, with the help from Debbie at Sykes. The cottage is very spacious and well decorated and a lovely little sun patio outside.
