A fridge and kitchenware are also available, as well as a coffee machine and a kettle. At the guest house, every unit is fitted with bed linen and towels. We loved everything about our stay. The cottage is super warm and comfy, you feel like better than in a 5 stars hotel!!! White linen and towels and robes. The attention to detail of Joan and John is out of this world, with plenty of fresh food. They left for my partner gluten free options of everything and even all kind of dog food for our Queen. They left a birthday cake for me and a card... The area is fantastic with very nice hikes to do around the house. Saffron is a cute village with a very nice local market on Saturday, worth the visit!
