Excellent location, quiet but still within walking distance of shops, pub etc. The welcome pack was the best ever, milk, cheese, bacon, orange juice, butter, red and white wine, bread and a basket full of groceries to make a very nice pasta based meal. The cottage was warm and cosy, unlimited logs for the fire, exceptionally clean and tidy. The en-suites and downstairs bathroom came supplied with flannels, soaps and shampoo. A very nice touch was the decanter of sherry in the living room. Excellent communications from Crabtree & Crabtree meant a wonderful, trouble free holiday. We shall definitely be back. ##### Andrew G.
