Fabulous cottage in a beautiful setting. Very clean and nicely furnished. The hot tub was wonderful and ready to use as soon as we arrived. Chris, our host, was so friendly and checked in on us, making sure that everything was good. Lovely pubs in the village offering great food and entertainment. Everyone made us feel so welcome too. We will definitely be back. Thank you
