Had a return visit to this cottage and once again it was everything we needed for a relaxing week away. It had everything you could possibly need. It was very clean , plenty of places to put your clothes etc. The conservatory was a added bonus a lovely place to sit for breakfast or read a book watching birds. David the owner was very friendly and helpful. It's situated in a ideal location handy to the coast, going to see the red kite. Plenty of walks and bike trails if you are able to do. Flowers, wine and milk on arrival. Can't recommend enough.
