Cottage was very spacious and clean. It had absolutely everything you could possibly need whilst spending time there. Amanda and John have thought of everything.
The private courtyard with gate was brilliant for letting the dog out knowing he was safe.
The hot tube was huge and and excellent way to end the day relaxing.
We would definitely recommend the accommodation.
John was an absolute hive of information. And it was lovely hearing the history behind the cottage and its renovation.
Hopefully we will be back.
Thank you both for a lovely relaxing break.
