Immaculate cosy and welcoming
Just returned after spending New Year at the property and we had a lovely time. Val was very welcoming. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean very comfortable and had everything you could need. The kids also enjoyed the summerhouse with the pool table and all the Christmas lights outside and Christmas tree in the cottage added a lovely touch. We would definitely recommend
