There are two elderly horses whose home is at the back of the cottage called Beauty and Maggie, they are so friendly and love a stroke or a carrot, you can see them from the upstairs bedroom windows together with the wild rabbits which can be seen exploring the top of the meadow behind the cottage. The cosy living and dining room features a warming wood burner at the heart, set into an impressive inglenook fireplace, offering the perfect spot for unwinding, with velvet sofa, armchair, cushions and linen adding vibrant pops of colour, leading through to a modern and well-equipped kitchen.

Outside, the enclosed patio garden with furniture for dining al-fresco leads through a gate to the enclosed lawn garden – the ideal space for children to play and dogs to roam. Set within the owner’s 6-acre estate, the meadow beyond; accessed through a gate from the cottage garden, then through another gate where the horses roam. At the top of the meadow is an aptly placed bench offering the perfect spot for watching the sun go down over the hills and countryside.

We chose this property as we needed to vacate our home whilst work was being done, but it ended up so much more than just a place to lay our heads. The location, near the main road was ideal, but actually very quiet, as it was set down a hill. Pauline, the owner, couldn't have been more accomodating, finding extra parking for us and sorting out things very quickly. The location was brilliant, especially for our 2 dogs who loved the peaceful walks in the near vacinity ##### Marc H.
