Absolutely would recommend The location ,perfect for choosing where you want to go, The cottage was great and all facilities were spot on, even though there was a main road running alongside it, you wouldn't know that once you closed yourself away in the cottage.The room with a view was stunning all day long hence being Mill pond cottage.
