We had a fantastic stay from start to finish. Tracey welcomed us despite the wind and rain and immediately made us feel at home The cottage was lovely and warm on arrival, with lots of thoughtful extras including tea coffee milk biscuits and local handmade chocolates. The kitchen was well equipped, even including an air fryerWe were celebrating a friend’s 50th birthday and Tracey surprised us with homemade cake and brownies which made the occasion even more special Great nights sleep in the comfortable beds and great showers. the cottage was spotless throughout. We had a wonderful weekend and couldn’t have wished for a better place to stay
