A delightful little cottage, very comfortable and well equipped. We had a very good stay. Others have commented about a welcome pack. There wasn’t one as such, but tea and coffee was available (no milk.)Loved the area, plenty to do although we were happy to take time just to be at the cottage and enjoy its charms. Thank you for a lovely stay.
