The owners who's own bungalow is attached to the cottage are great, very friendly and helpful. The welcome pack of bread, butter, milk, wine and a very tasty home made cake is very thoughtful and there was even fresh flowers in a vase in the living room. The cottage is situated in a lovely peaceful village and is a great base for travelling around the area. Would definitely stay there again.
