Lovely cottage. Home from home. Everything you want for comfortable holiday. Big bed and comfy. Even choice of summer or winter duvet. Central heating and log fire if needed. Jo and Scott are lovely and only live next door if any queries. Would recommend this cottage to anyone wanting peace and quiet with lovely views from lounge or garden. Would definitely go again.
