This is a beautiful cottage without the usual downsides. It feels big and airy. It was lovely to have the space outside in the garden. It was also fantastic to be right nest to the farm. Our kids loved it and our hosts (the farmers) were great with us saying hello to the sheep. In summary it was a great cottage with plenty of beds and space so wRead moree didn't wake up feeling we had to get out and about with the kids. The farmer hosts were also fantastic and on hand for anything we needed. Thank you very much for a lovely stay. Hide

Our family (3 generations) stayed for a week at Buckinghams Leary to celebrate my husband's 70th birthday. The property is spacious, comfortable, spotlessly clean and well equipped. Our hosts Adrienne and Simon were welcoming and helpful. They provided a welcome pack which included a selection of teas, coffee, hot chocolate, milk ,biscuits, chocRead moreolate and even a bottle of wine. Parking for four cars was excellent and located opposite the property. We have no hesitation in recommending this property. Hide
