We had a wonderful stay at The Old Factory. It was very peaceful and a real retreat to relax in and yet so much to do close by to keep us active too.We were treated to mild weather in early October but I imagine the log burner will make the cottage really cosy in chillier times.

Just returned from a four night stay.
Just returned from a four night stay. Wished we'd booked longer! The cottage and surrounding area is stunning, and the photos don't do it justice. Despite being on a working dairy farm, it was very peaceful with little noise other than the occasional moo! The log burner, hot tub and beautiful bath tub all added to the experience. I would definitely recommend it.
