An unusual but charming cottage, with the lounge/diner upstairs with lovely views from the huge wind
An unusual but charming cottage, with the lounge/diner upstairs with lovely views from the huge windows. There's lots of places to visit within a forty mile radius. One of the nicest bits was the owner, who was most helpful - and she grows lovely tomatoes!
