Mrs H
This was a beautiful cottage, as described, very comfortable and cosy, great bed and shower. Tastefully furnished with all the utensils you could possibly need. Great car parking space, the village is quiet and friendly, nice little bakery and cafe nearby along with a Tesco express at the end of the road which is useful! We loved it and would return in a heartbeat!
