Very comfortable and well equipped. Remote and quiet, a real escape. However, if you love your car, the long single track road to the cottage may not be for you. My Octavia is not a tractor but it looked like one after our visit and needed a deep clean and polish to erase the score marks down both sides. And our car is a workhorse serving our needs to carry bikes and materials for our allotment!

A beautiful converted barn. Very clean and well thought out. Lovely shower, comfy bed. We really enjoyed being on a working farm watching the sheep and cows come home, literally right past our kitchen window. Brilliant! Hen and Ollie were very friendly as well as their 3 well behaved dogs
