I did send notification of non attendance on the first night due to a cancer appointment for my wife. I didn't get a reply. OW a smashing cottage.

The provision of wine and biscuits was a nice and welcome touch. The only downside was the noise from the traffic when sitting out on the balcony. However, this did not spoil our stay.
