We had a lovely stay at this cottage. The weather wasn't too good, but we loved spending time inside in this beautiful, light cottage that had everything we needed including some tastefull groceries. When it was dry for a bit, there was much to see in the garden or in the surrounding area. We are definitely going back, that says it all right? :-)
