The position is perfect, the hosts welcoming and responsive to any requests but not intrusive. There were 5 adults, but we found that the cottage coped with us all even during the rain. Sweep, the cat sought a lap whenever we were sitting outside - Sooty was more aloof! All in all, cannot recommend this enough (my 3rd visit).
