"We are so glad we chose this beautiful cottage for a much needed break."
The moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by our hosts, who were kind and considerate throughout our stay. The cottage was extremely comfortable, with everything we needed. We loved all of the little touches - especially the herbs on the terrace which smelled lovely when we'd sit out there and have our dinner. Indoors, the kitchen was well-equipped (there were even utensils to make our matcha - we'd forgotten to bring ours so were pleasantly surprised to find them). The bed was comfortable, the sky-light windows were lovely (we slept under the stars). There was a comfortable basket for our little dog, as well as bowls for his water and food. The hosts had thoughtfully provided us with some local produce for our breakfast, as well as other generous treats for us to enjoy. We arrived late on our first night, and in the morning we were further delighted when we explored the village, with gorgeous walks and friendly locals. Perhaps the friendliest village we've ever been to. The quiet location was perfect to get some quality sleep and reconnect with nature. Our small dog enjoyed many walks in the clean countryside air. There was a nice pub only 10 minutes away on foot. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property, and are already talking about how nice it would be to return for another break, away from the hustle and bustle of the city life that we are used to. Simply a gem.
Thanks for taking the time to write this lovely review. We are delighted you had such a pleasant stay. We hope to see you and your charming little pup later in the year. Property Owner
