Perfectly on the edge of Torrington so it was peaceful but only a short walk into town. Plenty of walks for the dogs. Torrington was lovely too, independent shops, quiet and friendly.

What a wonderful place to spend our holiday. Gavin was really welcoming and nothing was too much trouble to make us feel at home. The cottage was really well kitted out and the hot tub, swing and trampoline were a real bonus. Thank you for a lovely week
