Hot tub is lovely with a view across the fields and towels are provided for it, which other properties Iâve stay in havenât. The bedrooms have a lovely rustic feel to them and it was great having an en-suite to the main bedroom and a separate bathroom. I highly recommend this lovely holiday cottage.
