Fabulous middle of no-where get-away-from-it-all retreat. Love my stay there. Was made to feel very welcome. Wonderful bluebells evevrywhere at this time of year. The only downside - nothing to do with the cottage or hosts - is that the roadworks on the road to Steps Bridge and Dunstone STILL haven't been completed, which meant access to some of the local places I wanted to visit just wasn't possible. Never mind - next time, eh?
