So glad we found this little gem. Lovely cottage, conformable and well equipped. Quiet location but towns & sight seeing spots not far away. Hosts were very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely recommend.Sat nav took us straight there, the green cones left out by the hosts directed us to the little lane as its quite hidden. Make sure you read the excellent online guide provided as it is very helpful.
