We had a wonderful time at the Potting Shed. The owners Matthew and Karin are super nice and very accommodating. The Shed is set in a wonderful garden; is lovingly furnished and has everything we needed. For breakfast we received freshly baked homemade bread with vegetables from the garden. Delicious. The hosts had good tips for the area and told us about the interesting history of the house. We loved it and can highly recommend this accommodation and will definitely visit it again!

We had an amazing time at the Potting Shed. The owners were extremely accommodating, told us about the interesting history of the surrounding area, and the breakfast was really tasty, with home grown vegetables and homemade bread. At night, the area was so quiet and dark that we had such a fantastic sleep! I would highly recommend this place, and will be sure to visit again!

Beautiful garden...plenty of places to sit. A, local -produce, continental breakfast was served in the garden below a tree, with three lovely bantams sharing the experience- (we were invited to have a full English but declined, as the weather was extremely hot).Very friendly hosts, and a comfortable, well- appointed room and bathroom...we could not have wanted for more...recommended.Local pub: the railway was VERY friendly (especially the landlady and her sister) though others appeared to be closed...some for good, others midweek!
