A lovely little cottage on a well landscaped site including static and touring vans, tents and ‘pods’. Quiet in early June, but potentially very busy later in the season. One complaint - the bed was extremely uncomfortable, with a hard & lumpy mattress - could easily be remedied with a mattress topper.
