To begin at the beginning. On arrival we were warmly greeted by son, David, who offered all or any assistance if needed but left us to our own devices. The cottage was spotlessly clean with a welcome array of goodies to glug and consume and an info book detailing local amenities, services, walks, eateries etc. At the rear of the cottage is a patio with quality furniture, bbq, sun umbrella and a natural sun-trap. Let me say this - it is PEACEFUL. Very peaceful. My daughter and I enjoyed our meals in peace and privacy and happily settled down to movies on the smart TV where only we could hear the invisible star fall. The kitchen is well appointed with every utensil we could need plus a fair smattering of arrival essentials, tea and coffee bags, seasonings etc.. I had the pleasure of meeting with Barry and Christine and it is clear they have honed hosting to a fine art. Just a lovely weekend. Wish we could have stayed longer. Will definitely book again. Thank you Barry, Christine and David.
