Beautiful cottage, well kept with plenty of space.Huge garden that felt like a fairytale. Clean and comfortable. Plenty of extra pillows. The only thing hay impacted our comfort was that it was a heatwave and understandably the cottage was incredibly warm! Worth bringing your own fan if you're likely to be visiting in hot weather.
