    “We had a lovely week in this cottage, it was a pleasure to meet Mary and Bertie.”

    Mary had been so helpful prior to arriving and whilst staying in her cottage. It’s a lovely little cottage with everything you could possibly need. I didn’t use it but I loved the idea of a slow cooker, a great addition. My husband has limited mobility so found the sofa too low but we managed with lots of cushions and me hauling him to his feet!! Apart from that the cottage is really comfortable though it was strange going downstairs to bed! The shower was superb, and easy to use too. A ...

    Mary had been so helpful prior to arriving and whilst staying in her cottage. It’s a lovely little cottage with everything you could possibly need. I didn’t use it but I loved the idea of a slow cooker, a great addition. My husband has limited mobility so found the sofa too low but we managed with lots of cushions and me hauling him to his feet!! Apart from that the cottage is really comfortable though it was strange going downstairs to bed! The shower was superb, and easy to use too. A good folder of instructions to aid our stay along with plenty of books, dvds and games so everyone is catered for. To be able to just step out of the door and have some lovely dog walks was brilliant, the surroundings are wonderful, I really enjoyed exploring with Bobby, our JRT. All in all we had a wonderful week staying in this lovely cottage and exploring a fantastic area. Well worth a revisit sometime.
