Thoroughly enjoyed our week. Shame about the weather after the previous weeks heatwave. Cottage exactly as described and spotlessly clean and well equipped. The garden area with the stream was super cute on the one day we managed to sit out there. Still managed to end up arriving down one of the little lanes which would have been interesting Read morehad we met anything coming the other way. Would definitely recommend. Hide
