Very helpful owner; flowers, tea tray and milk left for our arrival was a nice touch. Everything you need for a lovely stay. We hope we can return in the warmer weather to enjoy sitting in the garden.

The cottage had everything we needed, was comfortable inside and also had a lovely outdoor patio area and garden. The upstairs lounge area in particular was comfortable, light and airy - an ideal place to relax after the day's activities
