Liz's cottage was immaculately presented and in such an idyllic location. It was such a joy to have our morning tea outside in the sunshine surrounded by Peacocks. Liz as a host was very responsive and the handmade touches (welcome card and hand drawn maps of local walks) we're a lovely touch. We had a lovely meal at the Chequered Skipper, one minute walk away and would most definitely stay again.
