Joanna
The cottage was very clean and comfortable,and had a walking area for our dog which was a bonus. The owner Di was very nice and just around the corner if needed. Wouldn't hesitate to re book if in the area again.

The owner Di, was friendly and was available if we required any information. The location suited our stay as we we're visiting Aviation attraction & Museums in the area. The road outside was a little busier than we'd expected, but considering the majority of the traffic was farm related it stopped at a reasonable hour. So not really a problem. We had a wonderful week traversing the County. Thank you Di . Regards, Nev & Sue
