It was perfect in every way. The cottage was very well kept, clean, tidy & well equipped. The beds were very comfortable & the cottage in general was too. The hosts were incredibly hospitable & helpful and easy to contact if required. The hot tub was fantastic with amazing views of the fields opposite. We will 100% be coming back!
