Our hosts were friendly and made us feel welcome. my wife was allowed to feed the cat and chickens. The property was very clean and cosy and we didn't really want to come home. I would also like to thank Hellen and her Husband for the prompt response when the TV dish went on the blink, just had it replaced straight away, I was most grateful, especially as there was football on. I would definitely recommend the cottage.
