This cottage is just perfect.
This cottage is just perfect. We had a lovely short break....Lisa met us on arrival, we were ten minutes early but that was not a problem. She gave us some milk and home grown tomatoes, which were very nice. There was coffee, tea and sugar there together with washing up liquid and cleaning products. Tea towels and a j cloth were also supplied. The living room/kitchen/dining area was spacious and comfortable and immaculate. The cottage is very nicely decorated and furnished. The bathroom and bedroom were, again, immaculate. The shower was powerful. The hairdryer was a good quality one. We would definitely go back and would recommend to friends and family.
