    “What a smashing couple Jon and Lou are.”

    Real peoples people. The cottage was lovely and just as we expected, the gardens were beautiful. The scones jam and cream was a nice touch on arrival and didn’t last long lol. We understand that Jon and Lou had only recently taken over at Coward Lake Farm and we wish them every success for the future.

Loo.
