Breakfast was excellent—an English breakfast complemented by muesli, yogurt, and fresh fruits. The bed was very comfortable, and the room spacious and beautifully decorated. The shower was generously sized and stocked with high‑quality bathing...

We loved the cottage which was clean and spacious. The heater in the bedroom helped keep us cosy. The kitchen had everything we needed to make some simple meals.
