The cottage was cosy and so peaceful, the views were amazing. The beds and sofa were comfy. The garden was ideal for our dog, Miss Piggy, she loved walking along the lane too which was lovely and quiet. Thank you for the milk and welsh cakes, they were a treat after a long drive. We will definitely be back.
