    As soon as we walked into the cottage it was obvious that it was a much loved and cared for property. A lot of thought went into what you may need on your stay, even down to things like toothbrushes and deodorant, things you may forget. The village was beautiful with several really nice places to eat and drink all within walking distance. We had a great time and would highly recommend this cottage, hopefully we will be visiting again.
