Simon and Fee made us extremely welcome and were available if needed but were not at all intrusive. We all had a fantastic break, even Pate (our dog) he made great friends with the owners dog and was made as welcome as we were, thank you so much for such an enjoyable few days

The cottage is superb, very comfortable and exceptionally clean. The grounds it sits in are completely charming and the area is very quiet. The owners Fee and Simon very friendly as are the dogs. We will definitely revisit. Thanks
