The owners were so friendly, and the location wonderful. The whole holiday was fantastic, so relaxing and a fabulous village life. Will certainly be recommended.
Mrs Hall, Stockport, Greater Manchester

Freedom to do as we pleased and venture to new places. IOW small enough to travel everyday on visits and large enough to have plenty to do and see. Weather was a bonus too.
Mr Humphries, Biggleswade, Bedfordshire

The cottage was very well equipped with everything from fresh flowers, guide books to garlic presses. It is on a bus route, perfectly situated for walking, and the village amenities are excellent. Everyone is really friendly. Initial reservations about the owners living next door were quickly dispelled - they were enormously helpful yet not at all intrusive. We were free to enjoy the beautiful garden when we were not on a cliff top walk or in one of the local pubs enjoying a great range of food!
Mrs Quaife, Bristol, Somerset
