    Loved all the thoughtful little touches from the owner

    So quiet and such a wonderful setting. The weather was not great but the cottage was warm and comfortable. Greatly appreciated the board games...me and my mate haven't played Scrabble in years, but got quite competitive. Lots of walks and open fields for our doggie guest, lots of hot water and a well equipped kitchen. It took us about an hour to figure out the coffee machine and DVD/CD, so maybe an idiots guide to the tech would be useful for any Luddites staying. Can't emphasise how much we enjoyed our stay. A little bit of sunshine so we could sit outside would have been perfection:-)
