I really loved this cottage. It was warm, dry, well equipped and cozy - with a lovely, comfortable bed and clean, soft sheets. I also really liked the garden, which was wonderfully well looked after, very generous, and secure (a must for the anxious dog parent). The location was great, close to pubs and fabulous walks.
