Everything we needed was catered for. All the cupboards were labelled which was such a help to find everything we wanted. Very clean tidy and lovely decore. The wine, chocolates and sign welcoming us was great. The outside was huge and the seating was wonderful. The only thing I wanted to let you know so you can get the property manager to fix, there were wasps under the table just outside the door, but we sat around the fire pit on the chairs and had our lovely wine and biscuits. Thank you very much for a wonderful night we will certainly recommend to anyone who is going to visit the lights and the vineyards. ##### Michael K.

The owners have thought of everything you might possibly need during your stay and provided it for you. The cottage is cosy and comfortable and has been stylishly renovated and decorated. My only regret was not being able to spend more time at the cottage instead of leaving for the day for our sporting commitments, however it was a fantastic coming back at the end of the day to a place that felt like home. ##### Belinda S.
