    “Lovely stay in a beautiful location with outstanding views.”

    Cottage beautifully done and really cosy. Prince of Wales pub excellent as was The Kings Arms at Montecute a few miles away. Neighbours and locals all very friendly and helpful. Points for noting: TV in bedroom had no aerial lead; Absence of welcome pack (sponge cake and milk only) was not really a problem as we brought plenty with us; May need curtain over front door in bad weather as gap in letter box (draft).
