    “Lovely cottage, comfortable, quiet location.”

    Fiona our host was very welcoming. The extra bits provided were a nice touch. Front room was warm and cosy when the heating kicked in. The bathroom needs the mould sorting, the lack of heat in there made it chilly first thing and after a wonderful shower the room stays damp even with window left open slightly. Other than that we both enjoyed our stay.
