Andrew
Lovely cottage feel downstairs with the fire and the beams and really felt lovely and cosy and everyone enjoyed having the fire going. The amount of games and books was also brilliant and meant it was games night after dinner every day which kept the kids off the tv. Having a nice sized garden and then the orchard and the fields on the door stop was a real bonus and thoroughly enjoyed by all.
