The location is perfect, so quiet and a beautiful garden. Close to pubs, farm shops and local attractions. The cottage was small but well equipped and Paul the owner was very welcoming and helpful. We had a wonderful week, although if the weather had been a bit warmer we could have appreciated the garden more. Brady the owner's dog was a lovely added extra.
