My place is a pair of adjoining single storey cottages converted from a former farm building on a small farm - Ash and Beech Cottages. Please note that the bookings calendar shows when one or other of the cottages is booked. Please contact us if you wish to book both cottages. Our minimum stay is 3 nights. Discounts for a week or more. We ask that you don't smoke or bring pets on to the property. Please note that our own dogs have the run of the farm. You will be advised how to gain access to the cottages once your booking is confirmed. We are usually only a phone call away if you need help. There are electric gates to the farm entrance and you will be given a code that will give you access during your stay. This information will be communicated to you close to your arrival date. We change the codes regularly!

I have now retired after a lifetime of commuting to work in the City and can indulge in my love of the countryside. I can usually be found around the horses and/or with a dog by my side.
