    “The cottage was as beautiful inside as it was out.”

    Such a comfortable home from home, with spectacular gardens. Lovely little sun trap patio area with chairs and table. You get your own parking space, within the grounds, which is fantastic, and not too far to go to front door. Warm and welcoming owners on hand if you need them.
