A character Cottage close to the village centre and all amenities yet in a quiet location.
A character Cottage close to the village centre and all amenities yet in a quiet location. The canal was also very close, with lovely walks along the tow path, ideal if you have dogs.
The Cottage has a large enclosed garden, again ideal for dogs. It was adequately equipped and comfortable.
It’s close proximity to the A38 made it easy for us to travel to visit family and friends and would use again for the same purpose.
