The cottage was so clean and comfortable and Emma messaged me during the week to check in on us due to the extreme high temperatures during our stay which was very thoughtful. The kitchen was well equipped and plenty of towels were provided. We had the extra entertainment in the evenings of watching the antics of the young calves In the field behind us!! The local people were friendly and helpful, and the pub (The Church Inn) just up the hill was lovely and friendly and the food was great. We're already making arrangements to stay again next year. Thank you Emma, we had a great time 😁
