The cottage has such charm and the most amazing views from the lounge and terrace. Watching the horses, dogs, geese, goslings, chickens and in the further distance the sheep, cows and a few rabbits was delightful and there were so many birds and their lovely birdsong all around. The owners were so friendly and made us so very welcome and helped to make our stay very special. We also very much appreciated the welcome treats including the wonderful eggs. Can't say enough about our stay, it was just wonderful. Thank you Sue and Ken
