We had a lovely stay in the cottage. Having a drive is great, shower was great. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. It's the small things that make such a difference. Washing up liquid, salt, pepper, sugar, even tea and coffee, cling film, bin bags, loo roll.The bar of chocolate was a lovely treat too 😊Very cosy and warm.
