Remarkable barn conversion for 6 & 2 dogs, w/ free WiFi, open fire & 50 yards from the pub

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (14)
"The cottage is extremely well kitted out, with a top class tea room and small general store in the village, just 40 metres away. There's no garden but enough room to sit outside at the front and have an evening drink. We didn't try the pub but it's worth looking at the reviews for it 😊 Fantastic walking from the door, and if the weather is good you can even swim in the river across the fields."
