Mrs Pert (Karen), who looks after the property for the owner made us feel very welcome, and was really helpful, and full of useful information. We loved the cottage, and its remoteness, and the dogs had an absolute ball in the field that the owner kindly let us use - that was such a bonus, and one of the reasons why we chose the cottage in the firsRead moret place. Be prepared for lots of narrow lane driving, and lots of reversing, you'll get plenty of practice! Have already booked for next year!! Hide
