The Dairy Cottage is the ideal place for a peaceful weekend away. The views from the garden are serene with beautiful sunsets and the joy of watching the grazing resident horses and and donkey as you relax in the hot tub in the garden. The accommodation itself is wonderfully welcoming, homely, comfortable and extremely well equipped, along with robes and slippers for the hot tub.
The wood burning stove is a welcomed addition and the large corner sofa was a great place to retreat to.
We took our ridgeback and enjoyed a good range of walks in the surrounding area without having to jump in the car.
The owners were lovely ensuring we had everything we needed. Would highly recommend a stay here and we definitely hope to return.
