Location was perfect for us as our need was rural and peaceful and the cottage fit the bill perfectly. FacIlities were excellent and the cottage was clean and had all home comforts. The view from the conservatory was amazing and I spent many hours sitting and enjoying the view and the animal life in the garden with birds and bunnies. Canât wait to return
