We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hathaway Cottage and would definitely stay again. Katie has thought of every little detail and the cottage is just perfect. Beautiful decor, and perfectly sized for 2 people it really is the cosiest little bolthole. The village is just gorgeous too with very friendly locals. As for food we can definitely recommend Read morethe Sun Inn and the Malthouse kitchen for food, and the brewery tour is a must too. Hide

Terrific cottage, albeit it small. If you're unusually tall (and I'm over 6'4"), be forewarned that most of the beams were placed in a different era, so you'll have to be careful. But the plusses are much more than compensating. Bushels of CHARM! The perfect bolt-hole for two people who really want to be together. Romantic! And the village itself iRead mores delightful and real. The museum at the brewery is outstanding. The small grocery store was well stocked. The footpaths many and delightful! Hide
