Only gripe I had was that the grass needed cutting and was too long for my dog to enjoy.

I normally stay on a farm close by but it was nice to be in Longnor for a few days. I prefer the Pack Horse Inn to The Chesire Cheese.

Lovely little cottage in a perfect location with beautiful views across the fields.

Has everything you need for a relaxing stay and a wonderful fire too! A few additions would improve the overall experience. This would include a rug in the lounge and a small footstool, a much better mattress topper on the bed (and one that fits properly), and some decent pillows. We both woke up every morning feeling quite stiff and an achy neck. If these small points were addressed then I would give 5 stars and love to return again.
