It felt like home, but even better in every way. The place was sparkling clean, Nancy went above and beyond to be attentive, and everything we needed was available. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect stay. Thank you.

Very friendly and helpful owners who live next door. Lovely cottage. Very well equipped kitchen suitable for cooking large meals. Bathroom and shower work very well. Sitting room has option for open fire which was easy to setup. The master bedroom double bed was only a small double - 4'6". We would have preferred a larger bed.

The welcome pack was very good. It was in a nice quiet place but was within reach of shops etc. We would definitely recommend it.
