Its a beautiful cottage and all your needs have been taken into account. From tea, coffee, milk and biscuits to toiletries in the bathroom. A car is necessary really although there is a bus stop on the main road. We had a lovely stay and would definitely considering returning. The beds are comfortable and there is everything in the cottage that you could possibly want. It was relaxation and tranquility. |
