The location was really quiet and very relaxing. We used to read our books on the bench under the tree and listen to all the wildlife around us. The Thatched cottage had everything you would ever need for a holiday. The kitchen was compact but I loved it. Thank you for the local products that were left for us, very much appreciated. The beds were so comfortable and the shower was one of the best we had ever had. Everything was spot on, you wonât be disappointed. It was lovely to see the owner Sonia in person, she definitely has good tastes. We had a lovely time and will be back in the future.

We had a lovely week here. The supplies provided were much appreciated, especially the fresh eggs from the owner's hens. Definitely the place to go if you want period charm and atmosphere!
