    “This was a beautiful cottage, warm and cosy,well equipped kitchen.”

    We needed a short break not far from home as my parents can't travel so far. On arrival we did miss the entrance to the cottage but found the village pub The White Horse (Great food) and the friendly locals, Janice then directed us from there. Thank you for a relaxing weekend we will definitely come again.
