Absolutely stunning. Very warm and helpful welcome from our host on arrival. The standard of the cottage was first class, fitted out with quality equipment and furnishings. The grounds were kept immaculate and our dog loved the walks around the field and pond. The bed was very comfortable and there were was a bottle of wine and some chocolates waiting for us on arrival. Everything you needed was there. The parking was excellent.Of course there is always some negatives where ever you go, but on this occasion it was only one thing the sofa was the most uncomfortable thing I have ever sat on.Would I go there again? Yes.
