My wife lost a nose stud somewhere - we think the front bedroom - so if that is found that would be great

The house is spacious and well equipped. Very comfortable beds. Set in a beautiful part of the country with great walks straight from the door. Several local pubs doing good food and beer.

The cottage had everything we needed in it and we had a cot and high chair supplied. All facilities where good and clean. (Kitchen, bathroom etc) but good do with a deep clean to get rid of all the cobwebs and spiders! There aren't any homely ornaments at the property but that suited us with kids as we usually have to move them out the way. Kids loved seeing the sheep walk passed the gate. And looking at pheasants
