The cottage was pristine and incredibly well equipped. I couldn't name anything that wasn't covered in the inventory.The welcome pack was a nice touch.The neighbours were friendly and the local pub (although only open Thursday - Sunday) very accommodating. There is no longer a shop in the village but the pub has purchased a large shed which is equipped with basic supplies and an honesty box.In fact we were so pleased with the cottage that we are planning to return at a future date.
