Second visit to this lovely cottage, it really is a home from home with everything you would need in a home even down to the smaller items such as a sewing kit, fine china, umbrella and plenty of towels etc. They take so much attention to detail for your arrival that even the ends of the kitchen roll and toilet roll are arranged into flowers or bowes, the free range eggs and bittle of shiraz was gratefully appreciated. Gorgeous sitting there early in the morning with the patio doors open listening to the birds and chickens and watching the horses in the field. It is a working farm but this did not affect the tranquailty of the place. The hosts are lovely and live close by if you have any questions and as we where there celebrating out Sons graduation they give him a bottle of champers which was a lovely surprise. Would definately recomend and even though our son has left Uni we will be returning.

Excellent cottage with everything you could ask for. The only downside was the furniture which was very low for us, including the double bed. Excellent hosts, lovely area and would return. A lovely holiday.
