We have just returned home from a lovely relaxing stay at The gin case. Hosts really looked after us well. We enjoyed welcome pack and the cottage really felt home from home. Especially liked watching the parade of cows at the bottom of the paddock every day going off for milking. The enclosed paddock was ideal for our 10 month old puppy to safety play in . I would definitely recommend this cottage to family and friends.
