A lovely cosy cottage. A perfect base with all we needed for our week away. Enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and equipment was well organised and easy to find. Lovely little garden and beautiful kitchen diner, our morning spot before heading out. Nice powerful shower and lovely, comfortable beds. Would definitely recommend! Thank you for hosting us.
