Comfy beds, nice bedding and towels .Brilliant to have the basics provided like tea coffee condiments etc . Our only wish would be to have a coffee table in the front lounge but that's a minor issue.

We had a week in the cottage, the beds were very comfortable, seating was good splitvover two rooms, kitchen was in two separate areas so there was ample space. I would recommend this cottage it is in an idilic village, and the pub was literally next door. A most enjoyable week.
