    The cottage is perfectly equipped and furnished for guest stays but is welcoming and homely at the same time. The terraced garden is very pretty with views over the valley and surrounding countryside. The hosts are always available and helpful and have provided everything one could need. We have just returned from our fourth visit and the fifth is already booked.
