We had a lovely stay at the cottage .The owners are lovely The cottage is dated however that didn't bother us .The only thing that bothered us was the insects inside the cottage flies, mosquito and wasps we came home covered in bites . We used fly killer constantly other than the insects it was beautiful and the weather was fabulous too . I would recommend and I would stay again.
