The cottage was very clean, tidy and comfortable and Pete and Alison, the owners were very helpful. It was lovely to watch the many bird species feeding from the.bird feeder. The file containing instructions for the appliances and local eateries and places to visit was excellent.My husband is an ambulant disabled so can walk small distances and Pete sent me photos of the distance from the parking space to the cottage beforehand, however it wouldn’t be suitable for a wheelchair user.
