Report
This cottage was very charming and the gardens even more so! Learning to cook English dishes in the fully appointed kitchen was fun, and the grocers was literally steps away. Owners were approachable and accommodating, with knowledge of the local area and events. Laundry on site. If I am in the area again I would definitely stay here. I would go out of my way to spend time here again.
