Beautiful cottage, spotlessly clean. Quality , clean bedding. And brilliant hosts. A lovely welcome pack was awaiting us and we were very grateful for it. We had beautiful views from the patio, although was a bit chilly, being early in the year. We would definitely recommend this beautiful cottage.
