We would definitely recommend this quirky little cottage. Immaculate interior with lots of mod cons. It's in a beautiful location with lots of very friendly people. The owner is very helpful. The only downside was terrestrial tv sometimes went off around 9.30 but speaking to people in the village, we were told this was normal. This gave us the perfect opportunity to get the books out of play board games. Lovely to be woken by the cockerel. Had a restful and peaceful stay.
