Place you want keep secret.
Lovely house nestled in a large wooded garden. Sufficiently tucked away to be secluded but with easy access to the surrounding border country. Provided with all the needs of modern living and to a high standard. Host who lives next door, very friendly and welcoming.

Lovely Country Get Away
Stayed here for 3 nights and had a lovely time. The cottage was spotless, with everything you need and more, also the choice of furnishings was very nice. Enormous fenced in wooded gardens which were great for our black lab Jack. Hosts Fiona and Scott couldn't have been nicer and always on hand if you needed anything. Would Definitely recommend.
