We loved the cottage and the garden. The cottage feels really homely and comfortable, with a good big kitchen and a lovely view of the garden from there. Folding chairs were provided, and there was a good flat area for sitting out in the sun. The cottage is so handy for the village, shop, cafe and restaurant, and for touring the area. Its an old coRead morettage, so the windows arent big, but somehow the views you get are just right. Definitely value for money, and wed love to go back. Hide

This is a lovely traditional cottage which lacks nothing in an excellent setting overlooking the village. We had a small equipment problem but the owner, a delightful lady, came straight round and fixed it. We've already booked for next year, which says it all!
