Very well presented holiday cottage, very clean and fittings to a high standard. Thoughtful items awaited our arrival, such as milk, butter, a freshly baked loaf and even doggy treats. Useful information left in the including post codes of locations. Located on a quiet road, with a close area to walk the dog. Extremely friendly hosts. Top marks.
