Everything you require and more is provided. The bed is so comfortable and the wood burner was well used during the cold wintry spell of weather. John and Shirley the owners are great at communicating before arrival are always available to get in touch with if needed. We hope to return.

A wonderful welcome after a long journey, lights on, heating on and everything to get started....milk, cake, bread, butter etc etc. John and Shirley are the perfect hosts. Lovely to chat with and so accommodating. Cottage is spotlessly clean, very well equipped, cosy and just home from home.This was our second visit and hopefully we will return.
