Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This home is the ultimate escape from it all. Nestled in a clearing amongst 10 acres of private woodland and enjoying complete seclusion, it’s perfect for a romantic retreat. For those that love the great outdoors, you can take a hike – quite literally – from the garden. Cross the stream and you’ll have acres of forest to explore. The stream does mean this cottage isn’t safe for children, unfortunately, but for those bringing their dogs along for the ride, they’ll love the freedom this home affords.

Home truths
While babies up to six months of age are welcome, this home isn't suitable for toddlers or children due to the stream which runs through the garden. You'll need to bring your own baby equipment such as cots and high chairs.
This home sits within a clearing amongst 10 acres of private woodland. Guests can access the woods directly from the garden – there's a path running parallel to the stream, visible once you've crossed the small bridge.
The wi-fi can be temperamental here. It might be worth bringing a personal hotspot device with you if you know you'll need to access the internet.
A welcome hamper is included here with a few essentials to start your stay with.
