The owner had put up decorations which was thoughtful. The cottage was always warm and cosy and has everything for home cooking you need. I did a full Christmas dinner! On departing I left a valuable item the owner went above and beyond to return it she was very kind. We loved the quirkiness of this sweet cottage.
