Thank you so much for allowing our family to use your home .

    The cottage was in a lovely place, nice to relax after catching up with relatives and friends from the area. The cottage has everything you would need, and the 'wild' garden is an added bonus. Thanks for our home cooked biscuits and local goodies.
