    “We enjoyed a lovely week at Rainbow cottage, location was perfect for us, just a short walk into the village but was peaceful and felt remote, the views across the fields were great.”

    Simon and Diane were great hosts, nothing was too much trouble and they were happy to help with suggestions for good local pubs and places to visit. We loved our stay, just wish it had been longer.
