Close enough for a city day trip, far enough that the city genuinely disappears. Around 30–45 minutes by car.
A Little History
A Piece of History
By 1841, three people were recorded as working in the Garvald bakehouse, supplying the village and outlying farms. The original oven doors, uncovered during our 2007 renovation, still stand today as a feature of the cottage.
