We had a wonderful stay in the most beautiful cottage, it had all we required and more. it was clean, beds were very comfortable, well equipped kitchen, beautiful setting, and all the staff on site made us feel special, the two local pubs served delicious meals at very reasonable prices. We enjoyed our stay so much we got back home and have booked again for next year.This was a little gem of a cottage.
