A lovely cottage in a beautiful and peaceful setting. The cottage had everything needed including a lovely comfortable bed, I finally got a good night's sleep for a few nights, then I have had in years. Would highly recommend staying at Honeysuckle cottage if your looking to get away from everything and everyone to have a fresh break. Alot of friendly people including the owners.
