A fabulous, cosy cottage. Totally recommended. The owners are lovely and on hand if needed, but leave you alone for privacy otherwise. Clean and comfortable and well equipped. Location is superb for being in the quiet countryside, with plenty of places of interest in close proximity. Already booked for a return visit.
