We were made to feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble for this lovely couple. The cottage had been done to a very high standard with a well equipped kitchen which was most appreciated. Having animals close by made it very special for us as we are such animal lovers. We hope to visit again.
There was easy access to all places we wanted to visit, the village was lovely and quiet and the village residents were very friendly. The surroundings were beautiful. The cottage owners were great. Would definitely visit again.
