    “This was a wonderfully located stay, the cottage was excellent and immaculate worthy of its 5 stars.”

    and the host very welcoming and very knowledgable.We are very tall people and found the bed a little difficult to get in and out furniture a little low, for the small amount of time we spent in the cottage.
