Lovely cottage for our long weekend! Beautifully clean and amazingly well stocked. Had everything we needed. We knew the stairs were steep - and they certainly were! It just added to the charm of the cottage. Lovely welcome basket on arrival was gratefully received after a long journey. My grandson appreciated the games provided and the quiet area to ride his bike. We had some lovely walks in the beautiful countryside and returned home well fed and fully rested!
