We all had a fantastic time at the cottage. It was spacious and very comfortable and in a lovely quiet location with lots of outside space. The kids loved the swimming pool. The owners were most welcoming, a home baked cake was given to us on arrival and whenever we contacted them during our stay they were very helpful.We were just a short drive away from more brilliant scenery, great pubs and sights to explore.
