An amazing cottage. We were weary that we would be in a village and next to other cottages however this was never a concern as it was so quiet and in no way overlooked. Thwaite was lovely to walk around with the dog first thing in the morning and before bed and will definitely be returning to the village and hopefully cottage when Kearton's is openRead more. Hide
