Heathers cottage was the perfect getaway for our small family. We were taking our 4 month old baby on her first ever trip and needed somewhere to use as a base. Heather was the perfect host and had thought of everything before our arrival, leaving no stone unturned. The welcome pack was also a lovely touch. We hope to come back in the future.
