We have stayed in many rented cottages around the world and this one really stood out for being the best . The thoughtful touches like home made scones, toiletries supplied which went above and beyond and the spotless accommodation. The kitchen was so well resourced and had everything you could possibly think of and more. Thank you so much John for providing an outstanding service.

Well maintained, extremely clean / well presented. Loved the little touches such as sauce sachets, milk in fridge, scones (delicious!) and the book full of ideas, walks and brochures for local areas. Hot tub was perfect after a day out exploring followed by a jigsaw puzzle
