This is a darling coach-house conversion with atmosphere plus, lovely gardens and delightful owners. The nearby medieval village is a gem, we took several days just to explore it alone. And then there's all the other great sightseeing that you can do from this central spot - we only had a week, it wasn't enough time and we well need to return. We will come here again, this accommodation had all that we needed and more plus an open fire for romantic heating even though the cottage was more than warm enough anyway. A great place to stay.
