A beautiful cottage that’s so well thought out and has everything you could possibly need. The welcome basket was lovely meaning we could relax from the minute we arrived without having to rush off to the shops. The location is great for exploring the countryside and a short distance from the town centre. Great communications from owners too. Will definitely rebook ☺️
