The only damper was the weather, but it was February after all! We got a very warm welcome (the heating had to be turned down) including a bottle of wine (its a shame we are teetotal!!). The cottage was cosy, snug, compact & bijou, it had everything we could have wished for.We hope to use it again in the future.
