Fabulous cottage and hosts. Loved it.
We were made very welcome. Lovely touches like cream teas, wine and dog treats left out for us. Beautiful location and an absolutely fabulous cottage. It has everything you need, the best kitted out self catering accommodation I have stayed in.
Highly recommend staying here and if we are back in that area we would chose to stay here again.
