    The cottage we stayed in was absolutely spotless. It had a unique charming character and was furnished to a very high standard. We received a warm welcome and we were regularly asked if we needed anything during our stay. The owners live nearby and made us feel at home. The secluded location is ideal for walking and provides a safe place for children to play.
