The conversion has been done to a really high standard and the furniture and fittings are excellent. The cottage was warm, cosy, and very comfortable with every item needed for a weeks stay. We were warmly met by the owner, who lives on site, and given a tour of the property and informed of the local facilities and attractions. We enjoyed our stay at the cottage and used it as abase to explore the area. Thank you Di for a great holiday.
