We loved watching the birds on the feeders through the kitchen window. The owners are next door, so handy for any questions or problems. The rooms were generally clean but there were cobwebs on every light fitting, and dead spiders and cobwebs in the corners of rooms. There's plenty of sightseeing in the local area for a week's visit. It would have been nice to know that the only access to the cottage is along single-track, dark, muddy roads, so not suitable for walking along, especially at night.
