Details 

Lower Goosemoor Cottage in Wheddon Cross is a former pair of miner's cottages, that has surprisingly large and light rooms and has been modernised with flair and sensitivity.  The cottage is warm and welcoming, and has been thoughtfully equipped throughout, in addition it's perfectly complemented by the enchanting grounds which surround it.   This cottage and its location really do leave guests awestruck and provides a perfect place in which to relax and recharge the batteries. The cottage is totally detached at the end of the valley. A real favourite for families and small groups looking to get away from it all.
