    Wonderful cottage in a rural setting providing a scenic retreat. Comfortable furnishings. Pictures don't do the accommodation justice

    It was lovely and clean, everything we needed was there and it was easy to find. There was a lovely welcome of scones, clotted cream and jam on our arrival too which was such a lovely extra touch.
