A nice touch was the welcome pack of butter, milk, bread and cakes. The owner was very pleasant, but not intrusive. Would happily return.

Cottage was lovely and well presented. Owner was very pleasant and sorted out a few issues we had promptly. Only drawback was the proximity of the road, which was only a few feet from my bedroom windows. So took a while to get to sleep. Beds were very comfortable so once asleep slept well.
