The owner was so personable and helpful, it was a joy. Minor niggle was the sluggish internet speed.

excellent that ironing board and iron, and hair dryer are in place here, often we have found these lacking, the lounge and bedroom are comfortable and well appointed. Surrounding the property are many countryside footpaths, that we used to access nearby villages and pubs. A very nice holiday cottage, we had a lovely stay.
