A beautiful cottage, tucked away in the countryside. The cottage was spotlessly clean and so comfortable, lovely bedding, clean towels and also very warm, we didnt need to put the log burner on. We hope to return again, perhaps in summertime to enjoy the countryside when it isnt as wintery as it was in February.
