Warmly welcomed and assured of any help needed. We enjoyed the little private courtyard seating area. Also the "library" of books. Local roads were quiet and good for gentle cycling.

The cottage was perfect for us, the owners were really good and accessible, communication was excellent. It’s in a lovely village and very peaceful. They let me know straight away I had left something and they are going to post it on to me.
