I don't know why, but this rustic old cottage feels a happy place. It's resident menagarie are well cared for and the positive effort being made to bring out the buildings heritage shows a sense of purpose.
Expect to feel involved in the farmyard atmosphere and in the cooler months soak up the warmth from an unusual "pot belly" stove.
The king sized bed was an unexpected cosy luxury and having the characterful Spencer's Brook Tavern with cold beer and great country food within staggering distance just made evenings easy and pleasant.
If you've never stayed in a little counrty hamlet where everyone knows your name, you might enjoy the jump back in time to see how our forebears once lived.
We did.
