Thank you to Gill and Kev for their hospitality which was gratefully appreciated. There is plenty of room for Teddy our dog and parking facility. The village is not far away and has most things you need, if running short. Would highly recommend for a short or long stay.

We were out on a day trip and she phoned us to let us know,so that we could eat out if necessary. She sent a message later to tell us that the power was back on again. Lovely cottage, very warm and cozy, highly recommended.

Attention to detail was the key here, Everything else fell into place after that. Coffee tea sugar and milk for arrival and a treat of a huge cut loaf with jam and butter. But the property was amazing. Spacious, and bright and comfortable with views to die for whatever time of year you visit I suspect. We have rebooked for next year - this says it all!!
