Very cosy cottage, that more than catered to our needs. We had a very enjoyable Easter vacation. It was our second visit in three months. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else. Hazel is very welcoming, and very helpful. It wasn't a drama to extend our stay. My chihuahuas Misha & Kostya enjoyed themselves. Thank you Hazel.
