Along a tree-lined country trail, beside a sparkling brook, sits this picturesque little cottage. The stepping stones beside the cottage are used by many walkers and ramblers each year to cross the brook. The cottage was built around 1825 and was used as a sub-post house and watering stop for mail coaches. Its life as a sub-post house was short lived and it has had many diferent uses in the years since. Unlike a lot of cottages set in such a rural area, it has never been allowed to become run down and has always been well maintained.
   The family who live here at present have lived here for many years, and although quite far from any local amenities, they could never imagine living anywhere else. During the summer months it becomes a tea room where light refreshments are served -- walkers are even welcome to rest and enjoy their own picnics in the pretty garden.
