The location of the cottage was 10 out of 10, the River Exe running past the bottom the garden. The main road to the Village of Winsford went past the cottage very little or any traffic noise. Everything you needed for your stay in the cottage if not more, beds very comfortable, the shower was spot .... The location of the cottage was 10 out of 10, the River Exe running past the bottom the garden. The main road to the Village of Winsford went past the cottage very little or any traffic noise. Everything you needed for your stay in the cottage if not more, beds very comfortable, the shower was spot on, also a bath if you prefer. Can't fault the cottage at all, will return. Thank You Andrew Hampshire
