Shirley 
“A fabulous cottage.”
The owners have obviously put a lot of thought into the design of the property and the layout of the furniture and fittings so that it really did feel like home from home after a day out exploring the area. Everything in the cottage was top quality and easy to use. Plenty to do in the area and we were blessed with superb weather so we're able to do a wide variety of things. Our thanks to Terri and Jon for a memorable stay.
