The cottage was beautiful everything was perfect for me and in such a lovely village with beautiful surroundings. There was lovely walks that you can go on right near your doorstep. I had such a peaceful time here, so relaxing and in such a beautiful garden. I would love to go back again it's a home from home. Thank you Sue for everything.
