Laura, We're so pleased that you liked our little cottage and thank you so much for your lovely review, which is much appreciated. You were a pleasure to host! Kind regards, Dorothea
Exactly as stated on ad! A real home from home. Lovely and clean. Well equipped for longer stays. Comfy beds. Communication with owner was spot on. Would definitely use again if in the area.

Thank you so much Cally for your lovely review: we really appreciate it. You are always welcome.
Marked the "location and area" down one star. Not fault of the cottage, the parked vehicles in the narrow through street meant that getting through requires patience and a bit of give-and-take with oncoming through traffic. Otherwise 5*
auf der Rückreise nach D haben wir einen kurzen Stop bei Dorotheas fewo eingelegt. Das Haus ist funktional eingerichtet und typisch aufgebaut für den Charakter kleinerer Orte im Süden Englands. Die Kommunikation mit Dorothea war unkompliziert, da die Vermieterin direkt im benachbarten Haus wohnt.
