Georgina the lady that owns Farley cottage guided us in as we got a bit lost and if we needed anything she was always on the end of the phone. The cottage is in lovely gardens and was beautifully clean. Had a very relaxed few days

Georgina was an amazing host - I off handedly mentioned that I was prepping for my wife and I's wedding earlier in the week, and when we arrived there was a congratulations card and bottle of Prosecco waiting for us! An amazing and welcoming start to our break!
