We fell in love with the cottage as soon as we entered. After reading a couple of bad reviews we were a little apprehensive, but we need not have been. The cottage has a lovely homely feel to it. Loved having the wood burner, especially as when we arrived it was -1 outside. It took a little while for the cottage to warm up, but there were plenty of radiators and blankets available, and it was lovely to snuggle up in front of the fire under a blanket and enjoy a glass of wine. The milk, flowers, logs and bottle of wine were a nice touch. Have booked up to go back next year. ##### Gemma Mason Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cheryl P. 4 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Holiday Lovely cottage and lovely host.
