    “We loved this cottage.”

    It is homely and has everything you need. It was very clean and the parking area etc well maintained. The owners are so lovely and kind. If we had to be really picky the only thing we would have preferred was a stand up shower but we did know the shower was a hand held one and this was due to the sloping roof. The views were fantastic, the communal field too and the little dedicated enclosed square great for keeping bikes and putting out washing.
