Great facilities, pretty cottage, nice and warm - was just as described. Was really nice to have tea & coffee, bread, milk and bubbles to enjoy on arrival. Would reccomend.

The cottage is beautifully furnished and the guest towels were soft and fluffy. The cooking facilities were great and everything you needed for making meals. The village is beautiful and perfect for dog walking. The only negatives were a lack of gates/fence to keep our little dogs from straying into owners garden and driveway and the very steep staircase - maybe another rail on wall side please. Otherwise it was a fab experience.
