David, William, Jemima and I have lived at The Old Rectory for the past 15years. It is a very happy place! The cottage is just across the yard from our house. It has a very special outlook onto the garden and rolling hills beyond. We have been renting the cottage out for the past 4 years - before that we did BnB in our house. My background is cooking and I'm always happy to cook the odd supper for you!
