OWNER OPINION
We moved to Hockwold in 1973 after returning from three years in Canada to settle down and start a family. After the children were born we needed more space and came to Flintstone Cottage in 1983. After over thirty years here the children have moved on and have their own families so it is time for us to find somewhere smaller. We have many happy memories of a cottage that has been a wonderful home for our family.
