Just returned from a week long stay at the cottage. Really enjoyed it, we weren’t lucky with the weather but it was a lovely cottage just the right size for me and my girlfriend and our little dog. We were settled in my Kate and she was very helpful. Would definitely return.

Cottage is a bit tired and linen could do with a refresher!
