    Testimonials

    This cottage certainly has the “wow” factor. Thank you for the welcome basket. Really enjoyed the scones. Have had a great week despite the rain early on. Have made good use of our free bus passes to visit the area.

    Poem to the Landlord : This column is too small – to praise it all – Lovely, cosy, spick & span – so maybe we will come again!
