Excellent stay at a wonderful cottage. The welcome package was a lovely and much appreciated surprise. The kitchen was fully equipped, lovely comfy bed. Parking on site was was a bonus. Short walk from the nice village and only short car journeys for plenty of beautiful walks. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.
