The owners were very welcoming and the cottage is lovely. The welcome pack was very thoughtful and much appreciated. The owners have gone to a lot of trouble to provide everything you could require. The only downside was the lane to the cottage which had some deep ruts, but if you went over the bridge, there was a much better route which was slightly longer but easier on the car.

Beautifully presented and so very comfortable. All home comforts thought of. Thank you both for a wonderful week and especially for the very generous welcome pack. Highly recommended. Hope to return again soon.
