The cottage was immaculate, seating is very comfortable affording wonderful views. The beds were extremely comfortable, we slept better than we have for months. Parking was easy just by the door. Outside table and seating was used for several meals. Attention to detail was second to none and the kind touch of fresh flowers and chocolates was the icing on the cake. A wonderful place that we will always remember as one of the best holidays we have ever had. Thank you.
