Lesley went out of her way to make our stay perfect, from a range of greeting treats, to meeting us upon our arrival. The cottage was lovely, clean, nicely decorated, and housed pretty much anything you could possibly need during your stay. We even managed a spot of baking whilst there. The hot tub is an extra touch which we all loved spending time in and watching the visiting birds and rolling hills in the distance. All in all we had a lovely stay in the cottage with our children of 4 and 9 years of age. We can’t thank Lesley enough for her hospitality.The Startin Family ##### Tom S.
