Change of scenery weekend

The cottage lived up to our expectations, warm and snug, with an open fire and central heating and oodles of hot water for showering etc. Fully equipped modern kitchen and comfy beds. 5mins drive to centre with nice pubs, pharmacy, general store etc etc. The hosts Susie and Jim were welcoming and informative.
