The garden was just right for our boxer. The owners are very helpful and had left some lovely treats. All in all a well thought out cottage with everything you need to have a welcome break. We will definitely be back.

Very friendly people and nothing was too much trouble for them. When we arrived they had left us a bottle of wine, homemade cake, bread and butter and milk. All in all we had a lovely time and would highly recommend the cottage and owners Carolyn and Graham.

Every detail had been thought about carefully: well-furnished, spotlessly clean, appliances which were easy to use with simple instructions left. Welcome cake, milk, local butter, bottle of wine. Hosts very helpful and available without being at all intrusive. Needless to say, in an area of outstanding beauty with a great deal to explore.
