Shirley
Such a beautiful house, full of charm and character, we particularly loved the wood burning stove, made the house so warm and cosy. The cottage is lovely, spacious, very clean and tidy. There were lots of little helpful notes, which we found very helpful. Great value for money and would highly recommend.
