A lovely 3 night break - it was the perfect place for a small family gathering, celebrating 3 birthdays and Mothers Day! Its probably the most spotless and best equipped cottage weve ever been to, and so comfortable and cosy. Would highly recommend the Lowden garden centre and farm shop just along the road, and the Italian restaurant opposite thereRead more. Finished off nicely with a delicious breakfast in the barn restaurant at the Lowden garden centre on our last morning before heading home. Hide
