This was for our 50th Wedding Anniversary. Everything we needed was provided and the little welcome card, chocolates and milk were very much appreciated. Having an enclosed safe garden for our dog Mikka, was great, as we could use the hot tub and know she was safe out there with us. We will definitely be booking again. Such a lovely cottage and village. Everyone you meet are very polite and make you feel welcome. Thank you

The cottage is very well equipped and clean with plenty to do in the vicinity. It should be noted that the bedroom is quite small and anyone with restricted mobility may struggle to get into one side if the bed which has very little space.
