There is nothing more to say about this cottage than…. AMAZING!!!It was decorated for Christmas which made the festive weekend away even better.The small touches where fabulous (a welcome pack of chocolates/biscuits, a welcome pack for the dog). I have never stayed at such a well equipped cottage, they have thought of everything!!The cottage was so clean and tidy, the beds extremely comfy!! The owner was in communication throughout and even text on the day to say the cleaners had finished and we was able to let ourselves in earlier than the check in time.I cannot recommend this cottage enough and we will definitely stay again! Thank you for a fabulous weekend!
