Mr Iwaszkiewicz
We found the cottage to be of a very high standard both regarding amenities and decor .There was so much space for larger groups/families, however maybe the property would benefit from an additional shower . The gardens are beautiful and fully enclosed and there is parking for three cars ( possibly four ). The owners were on hand to help us with a small query regarding the central heating and couldnt be more accommadating. We hope to book this property again in the future .

The house was so well stocked with commodities, consumables and even dog food etc that we wanted for nothing. More attention should be made of the very good and close local stores
