      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 .
