The cottage was spacious and well equipped with lovely views over the owners grounds to the rear, and the windmill to the side. Being elderly we did find the bed very uncomfortable, but younger people may find it OK. The two sofas where low and uncomfortable, could do with an upgrade. As it was New Year the weather was very cold, the heating coped very well, we were lovely and warm. Most channels on the TV had no signal, Regards John and Gaynor Clarke.
