Comfortable cottage that is truly accessible. Owners available but not intrusive. Very cosy atmosphere. Minor criticism was the condition and paucity of kitchen equipment. Mugs blackened easily, some crockery was badly cracked, only one pan had a lid that fit. If this was put right cottage would be perfect !
