Lovely cottage in a very pleasant location. Ian and Wendy , the owners, were very pleasant and informative. The cottage had everything we wanted except for one very important element to us....that was a comfortable bed!!Sorry to complain but the beds were so uncomfortable that we had to actually go and purchase mattress toppers in order to sleep.
