If you want to get away from it all in a peaceful location that feels remote but is only 15 mins away from the nearest town, then we'd highly recommend Lower Stocking. It's a very cosy cottage that we intend to return to!

This is an amazing cottage! The location is fabulous, surrounded by forest, fields and nature. Inside, the cottage was immaculately clean, well equipped and so interesting with its paintings and books. A real feel of history inside. I might have felt a bit nervous if my kids were younger though! Walks straight from the cottage and great TV receptioRead moren and space for jigsaws and games on rainy days. We had a fantastic holiday in this beautiful cottage and lovely part of the world. Hide
