A lovely cottage with all the mod cons in the heart of a quiet village overlooking fields and hills. Very warm and cosy inside, with a very high standard of cleanliness. Extra bonus was the delish welcome pack.
A lovely property with everything you need. Quiet location with great views. Perfect for our trip. House was clean and tidy. Would definitely return
