The place
This little cottage has sort of sprung up in the forest over the years, with the original 70s restoration being added to by a resident carpenter in the 80s and the glass extension appearing a few years ago. Even the woodland that surrounds it is the result of extensive planting by the owners in the 90s. It all amounts to an incredible place where you’ll sit surrounded by birdsong and natural beauty for a few relaxing days. Dogs will love being able to roam the woods (although you’ll need to have them on lead if you visit certain parts of the farm) and there are brilliant hikes right from the door, with something for every ability. The glass sun room is perfect for post-walk naps and if you leave the windows open in the mezzanine bedroom, you’ll be woken by a riotous dawn chorus from the surrounding trees.
