We found a place nothing short of perfection. In a quiet countryside location, easily accessible, is a home where everything has been thought of. From pre arrival instructions to guide the traveller to parking outside your door. The cottage itself is an open plan layout leading on to a private patio with wide ranging views. If your lucky you may see hares running in the fields. The furniture and furnishings are of exceptional quality and taste. We literally could have transported everything home. The kitchen is well equipped. There is everything you need to cater - from a glass of wine to a 3 course meal. There is an honesty bar for a thirsty traveller. There are also coffee pods and even a chilled bottle of wine in the fridge, generously left by the hosts. We enjoyed the butchers pack (£20), which was full of local goodies and fresh eggs from the hosts’ own chickens. The bed is very comfortable with high quality linens. The shower is powerful and the towels soft and luxurious. The hosts Suzanne and Kevin are delightful. They are very helpful but also unobtrusive. We’d love to go back. Don’t hesitate, go!
