This was a very homely cottage with plenty of room to move around and the log fire is a focal point of conversation, very warm and well laid out cottage you just have to remember about the steps into the kitchen from the bedrooms, the welcome pack of flowers and wine is a nice touch and Nick was there to welcome us when we arrived he passed on some local knowledge about surrounding places on the well worth the money.
