The cottage was in a scenic rural location, with space for sitting outside in the lovely garden.The cottage was very well-maintained and while it was traditional in style, it had modern updates such as a brand new bathroom, and an air source heat pump, which we didn't need to use as it was in the high 20's during our stay. Our bedroom was spacious and we found the bed very comfortable. We also appreciated the milk, biscuits and other items available for use during our stay.The owners were around when we needed assistance and very friendly and helpful. They also directed us to the local brewery on a farm just a few minutes walk away from the cottage which was open on a Saturday and Sunday during our stay. We visited twice and enjoyed the atmosphere there.When it came to leave, I really wished we had booked for two weeks. Thank you for a lovely stay.
