A very quiet setting in the beautiful countryside is what we wanted and this was just perfect. Jane and her family were very welcoming and thanks for the cake and the milk. It was also a joy to see and talk to Janeâs mom and special thanks to her for bringing some home grown veggies. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed, all rooms very well furnished with great attention to details. The tennis court was also in top condition. It was amazing to see the cows in the nearby fields but that their presence also brings some unpleasant odour and flies. Overall, this is a great cottage for anyone looking for a relaxing stay in the countryside.

Jane, the owner, was very welcoming. She provided us with a lovely sponge cake, so thanks again Jane. The location is very quiet, which is what we like. Peace and quiet.
