A very well decorated luxurious cottage with a very well equipped kitchen. Everything you could possibly need and more! The cottage was lovely to return to after a day out and also to spend time in when the weather is not so good. Sarah can also provide meals which were delicious and a real bonus, a delight to come home to.
